In summary, the conversation was about trying to remember the name of a movie where a kid boards an alien spaceship and travels through space at the speed of light, only to return to Earth years later. Some possible suggestions were Spaceballs and Flight of the Navigator, which led to a discussion about the plot and details of the latter. Eventually, the group confirms that Flight of the Navigator is the movie in question.

Flight of the Navigator? It's a Disney movie I remember seeing and thinking, "why did the boy not get any older?" I was 10 when I saw it and had never heard of relativity. This movie, however, does not have a time difference of 25 years, only eight so I am unsure if it is the one you have in mind.
Here's a link on a write up someone did: http://mjyoung.net/time/flight.html

yeah, is that that movie with the silver spaceship, and then the kid is in like a hostpital or something and his brain is full of information. and then he's in some hospital room, and there's some guys looking at him through 2-way glass and I think there's a robot, and then he's on the spaceship and flying all over the place...in the desert I think.
...that's all I rememeber
and he's in a ditch or something at the beginning of the movie, I believe.
