One of the greatest films of science fiction’s classic era, George Pal’s adaptation of H.G. Wells’ THE TIME MACHINE has entranced audiences of all ages for over fifty years. At the turn of the 20th century, inventor George tries to tell his friends that he has invented a time machine, but they are skeptical. George travels alone to the year 802,701 where mankind has split into the peaceful but ignorant Eloi and the monstrous subterranean Morlocks. When he learns that the Morlocks have been dragging the Eloi underground to use as food, George mounts a brave rescue. Will he ever make it back to his own time?
