Votes: 1,542
Two of my favorite genres, scifi and western. I especially enjoy any sci fi movie about time travel. I also enjoy any western that has a touch of sci fi or horror in it. The critics did not like this one but they probably had their mind made of before seeing it if they saw it at all. The plot explains itself that a pair of scientists in 2586 invent a time travel device and one comes back to kill an ancestor of the other one so he can steal the device.
