Popular action star Paul Walker ("The Fast And The Furious") leads an ensemble
cast as a group of young archaeologists who confront the intrigue - and perils -
of time travel in "Timeline," "...an unforgettable thrill ride..."* directed by
Richard Donner ("Lethal Weapon") and based on the best-selling novel by Michael
Crichton ("Jurassic Park").
While excavating in the Dordogne Valley of France, a
scientific research team’s new invention, a time-travel machine, has
inadvertently sent archaeology professor Edward Johnston (Billy Connolly, "The
Last Samurai") back to 14th-century France...and landed him in the middle of the
raging Hundred Years War between the French and the English.
Johnston’s only
chance for rescue lies in the hands of his son Chris (Walker), His assistant
professor Andre Marek (Gerard Butler, "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of
Life"), and several of his students.
The intrepid time travelers must make the
same treacherous journey and, with the deadline of only eight hours now ticking
away, must navigate through the hostile, war-torn territory and retrieve the
professor before he’s lost to history forever.
