Directed by Tony Scott

Produced by Touchstone Pictures, Jerry Bruckheimer Films

2006126 min6.9 / 10

A high-octane sci-fi thriller that uses time-travel technology and a terrorist threat to drive action and suspense, grounded in patriotic duty and the possibility of redemption.

Called in to recover evidence in the aftermath of a horrific explosion on a New Orleans ferry, Federal agent Doug Carlin gets pulled away from the scene and taken to a top-secret government lab that uses a time-shifting surveillance device to help prevent crime.
