Robert Clarke stars as a test pilot who, while testing a new jet, breaks the time barrier and ends up in 2024, where the population has been reduced to a small group of sterile people and a small group of mutants.
He falls in love with the daughter of the leader and they see him as the only hope to keep their race alive. In the meantime Clarke wants to try and see if he can return to his own time. After much struggle he manages to escape and actually get back to Texas of 1960, but there is a neat twist at the end.
This has been available for years thru Sinister Cinema, and their copy is very nice, but Timeless and Shout Factory turned this out on a set with three other wonderful films and the quality is top of the line.
I have always liked this film and that may be because it looks like very few films do. I mean the interiors are all very odd and triangular. This was filmed by director Edgar Ulmer at the Texas State Fair. Yes, it is low budget, but again, this is a fun film and one that I will always hold dear.
The rest of the cast includes Arianne Ulmer, Vladimir Sokoloff, Darlene Tompkins, John Van Dreelan, Neil Fletcher, Ken Knox and Boyd Morgan.
