"Blast from the Past" (1999)
A real fish-out-of-water story, Brendan Fraser plays Adam, the son of an eccentric scientist who thinks the world is on the brink of disaster. Mistakenly believing that the Russians have dropped the atomic bomb, Adam's dad (Christopher Walken) seals his family in a fallout shelter for 35 years.

When Adam goes up to the surface world to buy supplies for the shelter, he meets Eve (Alicia Silverstone), a streetwise young woman who can't believe this naive guy is for real. Raised in a very traditional way by his mom and dad, Adam's good manners, ballroom dancing skills and fighting ability make him utterly charming and the perfect man.
