Plot:
In the San Fernando Valley in 1962, eccentric American scientist Dr. Calvin Webber believes nuclear war with the Soviet Union is imminent so he builds a secret fallout shelter beneath his backyard. Alarmed by the Cuban Missile Crisis, Calvin takes his pregnant wife Helen into the shelter. An F-86 Sabre has an unexpected mechanical failure, crashing into their house above. Calvin assumes the worst so activates the shelter's time-locks for 35 years. As the house was completely destroyed, everyone assumes they were killed, so their property is abandoned. Adam grows up in the shelter, thoroughly educated by Calvin. Above ground, first a diner opens, then a pizzeria and finally the punk club Purgatory, as the suburb becomes an inner-city ghetto. The young resident Melker works here through all its changes. By 1995, he is a middle-aged alcoholic living in the condemned club. When the shelter unlocks in 1997, Calvin believes the now-blighted neighborhood is a postapocalyptic wasteland of irradiated mutants. He decides the family must stay underground, over Helen's objections, who has never embraced life in the shelter. Adam leaves for food and supplies, as Calvin falls ill. On the surface he comes across Melker, who had witnessed Calvin rising through the floor, so believes they are gods. Marveling at the outside world, Adam purchases supplies, but then cannot find his way back. Trying to sell Calvin's classic baseball cards at a shop, Eve Rustikov prevents the owner from cheating Adam, so is fired. She drives him to a Holiday Inn in exchange for a rare card, but guiltily returns the next morning. Adam asks Eve to help him get supplies, paying her $1,000 a week, and find a non-mutant wife from Pasadena, California, per Helen's advice. Adam meets Eve's gay housemate and best friend Troy, who gives him advice and a makeover. Eve and Troy take Adam to a '40s swing-style nightclub to find someone. He attracts several women, including Eve's nemesis Sophie, who speaks fluent French. Jealous, Eve reconnects with her ex Cliff to provoke a fight, relenting when Adam demonstrates his boxing skills (having trained daily with Calvin). Disgusted, Eve goes home, where Troy tells her Adam left with Sophie. Panicked, she hurries to stop him from sleeping with Sophie when Adam returns, explaining that he politely rejected Sophie's advances, as he could only think about her. They kiss, but when Adam admits the truth about his past and his desire to take her as his wife "underground", Eve asks him to leave, believing he is mentally ill. Finding the club, where Melker now has a cult worshipping him, Adam returns to Eve's, where she is waiting with a psychiatrist to commit him. Seemingly cooperating, Adam escapes, though not before asking Eve and Troy to collect his things and pay his hotel bill. In his room, Troy and Eve find toiletries and clothing from the '60s and absurdly valuable stock certificates in companies like IBM (which Calvin supposed were "worthless"). They realize Adam was telling the truth. As Melker and his cult load the shelter, Calvin prepares to seal his family inside again. Troy and Eve do not find Adam at the adult bookstore by the club. As the despondent pair are about to leave, Eve spots him. They share a passionate embrace, then Adam takes her to meet his parents. Impressed with Eve, Calvin and Helen agree to set the shelter's locks for two months while Adam and Eve make arrangements. Staying for dinner at the shelter, Eve reveals she hails from Pasadena, to Helen's delight. During this time, Adam and Eve sell the stocks, building his parents a new home in the country, identical to their previous one, and acquire a restored red 1960 Cadillac convertible. They help Melker rebuild the pub into a '50s-themed nightclub after convincing him that Adam is not God. After mentioning Eve is Ukrainian, Adam reveals to Calvin there had not been an atomic war; a plane crashed in their backyard, the Soviet Union collapsed and the Cold War is over. As Helen calls the boys in for roast, Adam goes in and Calvin secretly plans to build a new fallout shelter. Eve watches while playing with her engagement ring as Calvin takes measurements.
