Plot Summary: This film anthology presents four distinct segments that each delve into the bizarre and supernatural. In the first segment, a bigoted man experiences prejudice firsthand as he is randomly thrust through different eras. The other stories involve a mysterious man who helps retirement home residents rediscover their youth, a school teacher who encounters a boy with reality-altering psychic powers, and an extremely nervous airline passenger who spots something intent on dismantling the plane's wing mid-flight.

Dad's Preview: It's best to disregard all the bad press associated with this film's creation. Some bad stuff happened, but the final product is worth a visit. It really is a great tribute to the classic TV series, The Twilight Zone, that most of us loved. The film features four stories that take incredible turns from normality, and are all quite unique. The all-star directors and cast put forth a pretty good effort to entertain audiences while honoring the series. My favorite segment features a man who hates flying and starts quit a ruckus on a stormy flight. I loved the original TV version that starred William Shatner, and John Lithgow more than fills Shatner's terrified shoes. This anthology is a fun romp through, you guessed it... THE TWILIGHT ZONE!
