The Philadelphia Experiment by Michael Janover and William Gray, directed by Stewart Raffill (at movie theaters, USA, 3 August 1984).

Seaman David Herdeg and his pal are thrown from 1943 to 1984 during a naval experiment gone awry, and in that future, David is the only one who can save a missing town (provided he can dodge enough bullets and perhaps win the heart of Allison Hayes).
