The Time Machine

"An inventive exciting, fanciful Thriller!" - The New York Times Hop aboard for the ultimate trip - into the year 802,701 A.D.! H.G. Wells' amazing vision of the future materializes on screen in The Time Machine, one of the best science fiction films ever made. It won an Academy Award for its extraordinary special effects. Rod Taylor stars as a young scientist whose ingenious machine propels him to civilization throughly devitalized by centuries of war. Humanity has been reduced to a colorless, passive race, the Eloi, who are held in the thrall of the loathsome mutants known as the Morlocks. There he finds the beautiful Weena (Yvette Mimieux) and discovers compassion and love among the Eloi. Together they find reason to believe that humankind may yet have a positive destiny. Full of thought-provoking ironies and action, this mind-boggling excursion into a fantastic world-to-come is "engrossing science fiction...and lots of fun" (New York Herald Tribune). © Loew's Incorporated and Galaxy Films Inc.
