The San Diego Sci-Fi Double Feature film group will
screen two films about time traveling: THE TIME
TRAVELERS" (1964) and TIME AFTER TIME" (1979).

"THE TIME TRAVELERS": A time travel experiment
that was supposed to produce a window into time turns
out to be a portal instead. One of the experimenters
steps through into a not-too-distant-futu­re world that
has been destroyed by nuclear war. Some of the others
follow, but then the portal phases out and they can't
get back.

"TIME AFTER TIME": H.G. Wells has just invented a
time machine but hasn't tried it out yet. When he
discovers that one of his friends is actually Jack the
Ripper, Jack makes his escape using the time machine.
Herbert follows Jack into the late 1970's where he
meets Amy, a bank clerk, who teaches Herbert about
life in 70's while they pursue Jack, who is enjoying the
more violent society in which he continues his murderous
activities.
