| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Forever Young |
|---|
Mel Gibson stars as a test pilot in 1939 who agrees to be put in suspended animation for a year when his lover falls into a coma. He doesn't want to watch her slip away, so he feels this is the best choice. But something goes wrong and he wakes in 1992. Once awake he learns two things, that is old flame is still alive, and that his body is aging rapidly.
