If it's 35mm film, you can take it to any decent lab. If it's something odd like 127 or 126, you'll have to find a lab that specializes in processing old film types. I would search the web. If it's black and white film, I'd ask the lab to push it one stop (overdevelop it). If it's color, I'd probably take my chances with normal processing. I tried developing a fifty year old roll of verichrome pan 120 that was probably exposed. It turned out to be completely black, but for all I know the camera might have been opened at some time. Good luck.

Actually if it's color print film you need to determine if it's C-22 or C-41 process. If it's c-41 you can try bringing it to any lab. If it's slide film (Ektachrome) you need to determine if it is E-2, E-3, E-4, or E-6. E-6 is the current process. Kodachrome current process is K-14. If it's a current film you can bring it to a lab that does that type of processing. If it's an older film you can try Rocky Mountain film labs in Colorado. B&W should be developable by any good B&W lab. MY best guess is that any of the older color process films will have lost any latent image by now. The B&W is definitely worth a try.
