A chilling, prophetic take on mankind's possible future, THE TIME MACHINE sees a Victorian scientist propelled into the year AD 802.701, where he is delighted to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty and contentment in the form of the Eloi, an elfin species descended from man.
But he soon realizes that they are simply remnants of a once-great culture - now weak and living in terror of the sinister Morlocks lurking in the deep tunnels, who threaten his very return.
