In the year 2176, a magnetic storm has degaussed all recorded history. Three time travelers, Adam-11 (Creator/DavidCassidy), Chanel-6 (Creator/OliviaDabo), and Heinz-57 (Geoff Doyle), are sent to the founding of America to retrieve a copy of the Constitution so society can rebuild. Thanks to a glitch, they end up [[TheSeventies two centuries too late]]. With the help of teenage slackers Chris Johnson and Tommy Sears (Jeff and Steve [=McDonald=] of Redd Kross), the three set out to repair their machine and find a copy of the Constitution. Hindering their progress are science geek Rodney Snodgrass (Creator/LiamOBrien), who wants to use them as his science fair project; Rodney's older brother Eddie Trojan (Creator/LeifGarrett), who wants to seduce Chanel-6; and two UsefulNotes/{{CIA}} agents who are on their tail.

''The Spirit of '76'' is a 1990 American comedy film directed by Lucas Reiner.
In the year 2176, a magnetic storm has degaussed all recorded history. Three time travelers, Adam-11 (David Cassidy), Chanel-6 (Creator/OliviaDabo) and Heinz-57 (Geoff Doyle) are sent to the founding of America to retrieve a copy of the Constitution so society can rebuild. Thanks to a glitch, they end up [[TheSeventies two centuries too late]]. With the help of teenage slackers Chris Johnson and Tommy Sears (Jeff and Steve [=McDonald=] of Redd Kross), the three set out to repair their machine and find a copy of the Constitution. Hindering their progress are science geek Rodney Snodgrass (Creator/LiamOBrien), who wants to use them as his science fair project, and two UsefulNotes/{{CIA}} agents who are on their tail.
The film claims to be the first ever '70s retro movie.

!!''The Spirit of '76'' features examples of:
* FiveFiveFive: Most of the phone numbers on Rodney's wall use this.
* ActorAllusion: When Adam-11 complains about being stuck in the '70s, he stares sadly at a ''Series/ThePartridgeFamily'' lunchbox.
* AndStarring: ...and Creator/LeifGarrett as "Eddie Trojan," introducing Jeff [=McDonald=] and Steve [=McDonald=] of "Redd Kross," Liam O'Brien, Martin Von Haselberg and Brian Routh of "The Kipper Kids," with appearances by Barbara Bain, Julie Brown, [[Creator/CheechAndChong Tommy Chong]], Iron Eyes Cody, Music/{{Devo}} Don Novello, Carl Reiner, Creator/RobReiner, Moon Zappa.
* CreatorCameo: Lucas Reiner appears briefly as a fireworks salesman.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: Both downplayed and exaggerated. A police car doesn't even have to touch a Pinto for it to burst into flame - just driving near it is enough. But it's a rather small fire, not an explosion.
* MickeyMousing: When Adam-11 parks his dune buggy, the background music slows and then stops.
* PrankCall: Rodney likes calling random people to ask, "Is your refrigerator running?"
* RidiculousFutureInflation: The inside of the time machine is papered with bills because money is almost worthless in the future.
* RoadsideWave: Adam-11 and Chanel-6 do this to the [=CIA=] agents during a car chase.
* ScatterbrainedSenior: Dr. Von Mobil, the one man old enough to remember what life was like before the magnetic storm, is barely capable of stringing a sentence together and confuses the preamble to the Constitution with the Miranda Rights.
