Synopsis

Towards the end of the 19th century Alexander Hartdegen (Guy Pearce) invents and constructs a time machine that he can travel through time on. Experimenting with it he eventually moves forward 800 000 years into the future. In this period in time he discovers that mankind has evolved into two races: the Eloi and Morlocks. Whereas the Eloi live and enjoy a peaceful world, the Morlocks - in total contrast - are hideous, aggressive creatures living underground who emerge after nightfall to prey on the Eloi.
