Time Trackers

When an evil scientist steals his colleague's time machine his colleague's beautiful, brilliant daughter, aided by an L.A. cop and a hapless admirer, pursues him back to twelfth century England where - disguised as a damsel in distress - she enlists the help of a knight errant whose secret past holds the key to her future.

Directed by Howard R. Cohen, Time Trackers leans on a strong ensemble — Ned Beatty, Wil Shriner, Kathleen Beller — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1989.
