A brilliant Victorian inventor is haunted by the past and creates a machine to travel through time in hopes of changing it. When his efforts fail, he catapults himself far into the future. He discovers that humanity has evolved into two distinct species: the peaceful, surface-dwelling Eloi and the monstrous, subterranean Morlocks who prey on them. He becomes the only hope for the Eloi's survival.
