Dana Andrews stars as a time-traveling scientist named Paul Driscoll who decides he can no longer stand his present, which he finds disappointing, so decides to alter three key events in history; first to warn Hiroshima victims that they are doomed, second to kill Adolph Hitler with a rifle, and third to prevent the sinking of the Lusitania, but all attempts fail, so Driscoll instead goes back to 1881 Indiana to settle down, but will yet again learn a most personal history lesson... Partially misguided drama wastes time on three futile attempts to change history(obvious padding) until the narrative picks up in Indiana, which is interesting and well-written, especially the dinner-time speech about planting one's flag. Uneven and overlong, but still entertaining.
