‘The Adam Project’ is an upcoming American science fiction film directed by Shawn Levy and written by Jonathan Tropper, T.S. Nowlin, Jennifer Flackett, and Mark Levin.
In the movie, time-traveling fighter pilot Adam Reed hooks up with his 12-year-old self for a quest to preserve the future after accidentally crash-landing in 2022.
The film is scheduled to be released on Netflix on March 11, 2022 on Netflix.
Adam Reed, 13, is still grieving his father's death a year ago when he wanders into his garage one night and discovers an injured pilot sheltering there.
This enigmatic pilot turns out to be an older version of himself from a time when time travel was yet in its infancy. He has put everything on the line to return in time for a secret mission.
Together, they must travel back in time to find their father, right the wrongs, and rescue the planet.
Working together, the three Adams, both young and old, come to grips with their father's death and have an opportunity to repair the wounds that have molded them.
Adding to the mission's difficulty, the two Adams learn they don't get along very well, and if they're going to save the world, they'll have to figure out how to get along first.
