Golden Years was also a 1991 Stephen King miniseries starring Frances Sternhagen and Keith Szarabajka. Szarabajka plays Harlan Williams, a janitor for a research facility who is exposed to some really funky stuff in a lab explosion, and begins to grow younger instead of older. The U.S. government, in part to cover up their experiment, and in part to figure out how Williams is growing younger, begins a country-wide manhunt for the lucky fellow.

The aforementioned Bowie song served as the theme song for the four hour miniseries.
