Synopsis : X-Plane jockey manages to go fast enough,
combined with planetary/galactic motion, to jump thru
time by about 65 years. Some kind of "disaster" has
happened and 'mutants' are too plentiful and eager
to destroy all humans. Plan - to return to the time
travel route and go back to 1960 to warn future gens.
This was made JUST before the US space program
really got going.
Ah, the 'future' here is 2024 :-)
All the locals seem to carry M1 carbines. The
women are handy with them too.
Oddly, the 'disaster' does not seem to have been
any big nukewar, but something different with
extreme biological effects - this is a break from
the usual sci-fi of the time.
Darlene doesn't make it .....
Our hero isn't in great shape after return either.
Basically this is just another low-budget
apocalyptic sci-fi flick. It's relatively
well-focused however and editing is fairly
tight. The "plague", rather than nuke, aspect
is kinda unique for the period.
I'd rate this as a B+ film.
