His decision is aided when immortal One Wish Grant (Gary Oldman) grants him a wish–but Neal must travel on non-existent Interstate 60 to a nonexistent town. On the way, he sees his dream girl on billboards encouraging him on, and he has other adventures as well. What will be the outcome? If this sounds a little like "Back to the Future," it is because Director Bob Gale was the creator and screenwriter for that series, and this is his first directorial effort.
