Frequency is a 2000 movie directed by Gregory Hoblit and starring Jim Caviezel and Dennis Quaid.

Plot

Tagline: What if you could reach back in time? What if you could change the past? What if it changed everything?

John Sullivan (Caviezel), having broken family tradition by becoming a New York City policeman, instead of a fireman — his father, Frank Sullivan (Quaid), died 30 years ago in a warehouse fire, shortly before the beginning of the 1969 World Series — and going through personal turmoil, discovers his father's ham radio and begins transmitting.

Due to unusual sunspot activity, he ends up communicating with Frank 30 years in the past, shortly before the date of the warehouse fire that would kill Frank. John is able to warn his father of the fire that would have otherwise taken his life. However, by saving his father (both from the fire, and later from lung cancer due to smoking), a new timeline exists whereby his mother, Julia 'Jules' Sullivan (Elizabeth Mitchell), is murdered. Thus, John and Frank must work together across the gap of time to find the murderer and save Julia.

Trivia

A major subplot of Frequency is the 1969 World Series between the New York Mets and the Baltimore Orioles. John relays to Frank certain key moments (including the famous Game 5 "shoe polish" hit-batsman incident) during the movie, as a means of proving he knows what will happen and what Frank needs to do.
One of John's boyhood friends is upset that he didn't buy Yahoo! stock when it was cheap. In the movie, John tells his friend (in the past) to always remember the word "yahoo". At the end, his friend ends up being incredibly rich, including owning an expensive sedan with the license plate "1 YAHOO".

Garth Brooks performs the movie's theme, "When You Come Back To Me Again".
The ham radio callsign used by Dennis Quaid's character in the movie - W2QYV - belongs to the Niagara Radio Club, based in Lewiston, New York.
