Plot
This is the original adaptation of H.G. Well’s classic book The Time Machine. George (Rod Taylor) plays the time traveling hero. After inventing the time machine, his peers do not believe him. He thus starts a journey to prove his machine works and finds out about the future of the human race. On his journey he sees mankind’s rise in technology and war-like tendencies. After an apocalyptical war, he is knocked out and his time machine ventures millions of years into the future. Upon waking he finds himself in a Garden of Eden where child-like humans, called the Eloi, are living. They are uneducated and helpless, they are fed and clothed by the Morlocks. The Morlocks are the cannibalistic creatures that live underground and prey upon the Eloi. With the help of a beautiful Eloi, Weena (Yvette Mimieux) he might just save the remaining human race and discover the secrets of evolution.
