Max (Flight of the Navigator)
- Max (Flight of the Navigator)
Max (voiced by Paul Reubens) is the computer that commands a spaceship from Disney's Flight of the Navigator. He is effectively the electronic brain/ personality of a research ship, much like the probes NASA launches to photograph distant stars etc. Max's purpose it to collect data from other planets and return the data and samples to his planet of origin: Phaelon. He is equipped with a faster than light drive of an undisclosed nature and a time travel function, allowing him to return samples exactly as found without a second missing in-between abduction and return. This means he doesn't disturb the environment he came to observe. Over the course of the movie, Max comes to collect samples from Planet Earth and return them to Planet Phaelon. Along the way, he crashes into an electricity pylon, knocking out his navigational information and disorientating him long enough to be literally picked up by the US government. The information Max needs was stored in young David Freeman who was abducted by Max as a sample in 1978 and had the information implanted in the unused area of his brain, as an experiment. Unfortunately, due to the complexities of humans, Max was unwilling to transport David back to his time as he risked killing him, so replaced him in exactly the same spot he was abducted from ,with no memories of the abduction eight years later in 1986. For David the transition was seamless and, due to the warping of time as you approach the speed of light, he hadn't physically aged from 12. Max meanwhile is captured by the US government and subjected to experiments (mainly trying to find the door) and doesn't attempt to escape as he has no manner of navigation. Eventually David's unused implanted data leads him to Max and in exchange for the information, Max, (who identifies himself as a Trimaxian Drone Ship) agrees with David to take him back to his time, 1978, to return to his original parents (not the ones who have been looking for him for eight years).
