Now that modern-day America is threatened by an epidemic, scientists do their best to find a cure. So far, however, all their efforts have been in vain. As part of a top-secret project, two brave men are sent back into the past in order to look up a doctor said to have cured similar cases...
"Time travelers" is an agreeable science fiction movie without great pretensions. While competent it is not particularly bold or innovative. The time travel theme is handled efficiently, but without intellectual fireworks. (As is well known, the time travel genre is ideal for writers who like to think up cunning puzzles and paradoxes.) Perhaps the movie works best as a tribute to the selfless devotion of doctors and nurses, who remain by the side of their patients where others would flee.
It is interesting to note that for Americans the nineteenth century represents a distant and venerable past, while most Europeans would look upon that era as only yesterday.
If you like the movie, be sure to look up "Timestalkers" with Klaus Kinski.
