Storyline

In this case, a group of archaeologists and combat experts led by Paul Walker and Frances O'Connor use a "3-D fax machine" (so much for technobabble!) to time-travel back to France in 1357, in hopes of retrieving Walker's father and returning safely to the present. No such luck! Fending for themselves against marauding hordes of medieval French warriors at war with the invading British, these semi-intrepid travelers find their body count rising, and the deadline for their return home is rapidly approaching. Written by Anthony Pereyra {hypersonic91@yahoo.com}

Goofs

Anachronisms: The team take a Frenchman to 1357 as an interpreter. But 14th-century French would have been incomprehensible to a 20th century speaker and vice versa. Also, the Englishmen of such a time and place would have been Normans, able to speak little if any English. See more »
