In August of 1968 a team of scientists working on a device that will let them look into the future are told they have 24 hours to produce results or have their funding cut off. Their device only allows them to look BACK in time a maxium of 24 hours, not forward at all. In an attempt to make it work forward and more than 24 hours they push the system past the safety margin. The result is that three scientists (2 men, 1 woman) and the pompous businessman who controls the money are sent forward 5,000 years into the future. Earth is at war, mankind destroying itself. The time travelers manage to start the trip home, with the hope of changing the future but the attempt to avoid crashing into another object also traveling through time sends them back to 1 million bc. There are no dinosaurs just one giant lizard. While the scientists in the time traveling lab try get themselves back to their own time, technicians in the present are trying to figure out where in the space time continum the lab is in order to bring it back in remote control.
This film is long on dialogue and short on action. Too much time is spent on trying to explain the science to the non-scientific audience. Its really an anti-war propaganda piece. As they travel through time their monitor screen shows nothing but wars. This is the dullest time travel movie I've ever seen (so far). The ending made no sense at all.
Available along with 8 other films in a DVD collection titled "Tales from the Future".
