BLAST FROM THE PAST, 1999, PG-13, 112 MIN.

After 35 years in a bomb shelter, Adam Webber is finally going outside to play. When a man raised in a 1950s era bomb shelter emerges into the outside world for the first time--to find a nice non-mutant girl with whom to repopulate the earth--meets a savvy, cynical modern woman, sparks fly, opposites attract and the result is a wondrous chain reaction in this romantic comedy for the nuclear age--Blast from the Past. Adam's hapless search in the brave new world of homeless people, adult bookstores and all-night supermarkets leads him directly into Eve. She's suspicious, smart about survival and uncertain of the possibilities of love. Her life has been a series of dead-end jobs, shallow boyfriends and dashed hopes. But the more Eve watches Adam approach the world with wide eyes, comic miscomprehension, joyous delight and a deliciously sweet innocence, the more she begins to find herself falling in love?
