“A delightful, entertaining trifle of a film that shows both the possibilities and limitations of taking liberties with literature and history.” – Variety

H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) has built a time machine, and he plans on using it to travel to a future Utopian paradise. But before he can, Jack the Ripper (David Warner), on the run from the police, escapes in it to 1979. Wells follows and enlists the help of a bank teller named Amy (Mary Steenburgen) to catch Jack before he continues his killing spree. As they work together, Wells falls for Amy, even as she has a hard time believing his wild story of time travel.
