Director: Peter Hyams
Actors: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mia Sara, Ron Silver
PlotIn a near-future world where time travel has become possible, the government forms a special police unit to prevent criminals from altering the past for personal gain. Officer Max Walker is recruited to join this elite force, tasked with traveling through time to stop those who would use this technology for profit, power, or revenge. Still haunted by a devastating event in his personal life, Walker throws himself into his work, tracking down rogue time travelers who threaten the fabric of history. The unit operates with strict regulations: while journeys to the past are permitted, direct interaction with one's earlier self or manipulation for personal reasons is strictly forbidden.
During his investigations, Walker discovers evidence that a powerful politician is exploiting time travel for his own advancement, seeking to consolidate power and amass wealth by manipulating significant events decades earlier. As Walker pursues the conspiracy, he must navigate bureaucratic resistance, shifting allegiances, and the inherent dangers of altering time. The mission becomes personal when he realizes that the villain's schemes are connected to the tragedy in his own past. Facing relentless adversaries and racing against the clock, Walker resolves to restore the timeline and prevent irreversible consequences. The stakes escalate as he chases suspects across different points in history, risking his own existence to uncover the plot and bring those responsible to justice before it's too late.
