Storyline
In 1964, a team of scientists is trying to develop a view screen into the future. What they in fact get is a portal and they soon find themselves on the other side, 107 years into the future in the year 2071, when the portal collapses. The Earth of the future is barren and they are soon attacked by mutated humans but rescued by a group of scientists who are building a spaceship to take them to a new planet. They learn that much of Earth was destroyed as the result of a nuclear war. When it's determined that the visitors from the past cannot be included in the planned voyage, they work furiously to rebuild the portal and return to their own time before departure day. Meanwhile, always under the threat of attack from the mutants , friendships are formed and they learn of life in the future including the use of robots for menial tasks. —garykmcd

- TriviaThe mutants were played by members of the Los Angeles Lakers.
- GoofsWhen the characters return to their lab they find they are unable to move any matter. Yet the characters are still able to move and breathe. If they were actually unable to affect any matter, as they clearly establish and go to lengths to explain, the air would not move out of the way when they walked nor would it move in/out of their lungs.

Been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely
Whew! Had someone remind me of this movie just recently and I
did a "Boy, did that take me back". A time travel in & of itself.
Here is one that should get released on DVD, or at least get some
TV play on a late-night show. I remember this being great fun
when I was a kid, new to the movie experience.
Yes, saw it in an actual theatre, probably the same one where I
saw "Crack in the World" (1965) with Dana Andrews. Both high in
"cheese" content, but no less fun.
Not really giving anything away, plotwise, this movie deals with our
fearless scientists who because of having the ability to time travel
into the future, try to go about changing it. Something that has been
dealt with over & over again in the ensuing years. Just remember
they are in fairly new territory here. Can one change what
"happened" in the future?
I also remember being scared witless by the mutants they run
across in the future. One guy who has legs, but no feet. You don't
have to be a rocket scientist to figure out they had an actor with
birth defects or an amputation, but to a kid in a dark theatre it
was really frightening!
Let's see if someone can get this out as a "late night" DVD, eh?
