This is a remake of the 1960 film based upon the novel by H.G. Wells, which is about a man in the 1890s who builds a time machine that sends him farther and farther into the future. Eventually he finds himself 800,000 years away, and two races inhabit the Earth: the Eloi, who are calm, fun-loving creatures, and the Morlocks, hideous underground monsters who come out at night to kidnap the Eloi.
