Nicholas Lea, Michael Pare, Ryan Robbins, Gina Holden, Emilie Ullerup and Malcolm McDowell star in the film, about "a secret government research project [that] tries reviving the World War II 'Philadelphia Experiment,' which was an attempt to create a cloaking device to render warships invisible." Cinetel Films is behind the project, which was directed by Paul Ziller and written by Andy Briggs.
