| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Spirit of '76 |
|---|
Set in the future, all information is wiped out by an electromagnetic storm. Having no documentation or preset order to follow, three timetravelers go back to the birth of the nation 1776 to reclaim the constitution of the united states. Their timetravel machine mistakenly takes them to 1976! Hotpants, tang, pop rocks, head shops, and wacky fun ensues! A great movie making fun of the goofiness of the 70's!
--Slytheran, Resident Scholar
