Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Frequency is a 2000 film directed by Gregory Hoblit and written by Toby Emmerich.NYPD detective John Sullivan (Jim Caviezel) is the adult son of a firefighter, Frank (Dennis Quaid), who tragically died on the job when John was a child in 1969. John discovers that during the aurora borealis in 1999 he can use his father's old ham radio to talk to him exactly 30 years in the past. Using his knowledge of the past thirty years, John changes history, saving Frank from dying in that fateful accident. They soon discover that changing the timeline has drastic consequences. A serial killer known as the Nightingale Killer had died in the old timeline - but in the new timeline, John's mother, Julia (Elizabeth Mitchell), a nurse, was not called away due to Frank's death, and thus she was able to prevent the killer's death in the hospital. In the erased timeline, the killer claimed only three victims - but in the new timeline he kills ten women, one of them John's mother.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Working across a span of thirty years, John and Frank work together to stop a serial killer, who soon sets his sights on the Sullivans...

Anachronism Stew: During the scene when Frank climbs out of the water after thinking he killed the Nightingale murderer, there is a boat with an Evinrude outboard motor. The motor is a 1999 model, but this scene in the movie takes place in 1969. A very small one, but when Frank hides from Shepard at a bayside dock in 1969, Shepard's P.O.V. Cam pans over the Manhattan skyline with the Twin Towers visible on the far left of the frame for a split-second. The Twin Towers weren't fully completed until 1972 and construction for either tower wouldn't have been that tall in October of 1969.

Arc Words: "I'm still here, Chief." Appears in contexts ranging from Frank assuring little Johnny that he's still supporting him on his bicycle to Frank showing up in the present—having quit smoking to make sure he lived that long—to save adult John from Shepard.
