The movie starts off with Leopold at the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge and he sees a strange man taking pictures and laughing every time the man making a speech says "erection". He later sees the same man at his party where he has to decide a wife. Leopold follows the man back to the Brooklyn Bridge where they both fall off and end up in the 21st century.
The mystery man's name is Stuart and Stuart takes an unconscious Leopold back to his apartment. In the morning Leopold does not believe that he has traveled to the future when Stuart tells him. Stuart tells him that he can go back to his time in a week when the temporal portal opens again. Stuart takes his dog out but is harmed when the elevator does not work. It doesn't work because Leopold is the person who invents the elevator and has yet to make them in his own time. Leopold meets Kate, Stuart's ex-girlfriend, when she come to the apartment looking for something. She asks that he takes the dog out. When he comes back he encounters Kate's brother and they become friends. Kate's brother is an actor and believes that Leopold is also an actor staying in his role. Kate and Leopold have a date but end up arguing. Stuart gets out of the mental hospital, the doctors thought that he was crazy when he talked about time travel, and takes Leopold back to his time before the party. Stuart goes back and looks at his pictures, he notices that Kate is in them. He tells Kate. She realizes that she loves Leopold and jumps off the bridge and she and Leopold get engaged. I liked how the elevators did not work, it shows that things change when you take someone out of the past who has yet to do something. I find it interesting that the elevators even existed in the present since Leopold hadn't invented them yet but they were there.

The story starts off with a man named Conger talking to a man called Speaker. Speaker tells Conger that he has the opportunity to be free of prison if he hunts down and kills someone. They relocate, with the help of a flying car, to the First Church where they collect the skull of the man that Conger is supposed to kill. They tell Conger that all he has to do is go back in time and kill the man who started the current religion that makes no sense. They send him back with the help of a time machine that looked like a crystal cage.
Conger's first time jump was a few years after Founder gave his small speech. He appeared in front of a library, he asks for newspapers from the past year using few words because he is unfamiliar with how the people talked in this time. Conger finds out that the Founder made an unlicensed demonstration during the second of December of 1960. As he was leaving the library a woman gave him a funny look. Conger's second jump brought him to November of 1960. He spends his days talking to the locals. He forgets that people in the past follow a 12-month calendar and almost misses his chance to see the Founder speak. He goes to the time machine and grabs the skull, he examines it carefully and he realizes that he is Founder. He goes out to the gathered people and says "I have an odd paradox for you. Those who take lives will lose their own. Those who kill, will die. But he who gives his own life away will live again!" Conger had realized that he would still be alive even when he dies. He is taken away by the police and that is the end. I thought that Conger's way of thinking was very interesting. He realized that he was going to die but then live again at the time when he goes to the library, disappear, then be born again two centuries later. |
