A senator is sent to inspect a project that can send people into the future or past & decide if it is feasible to continue. One of the scientists working on it, decides to go through it anyway... This is a compilation of three episodes of the 1960's TV series, "The Time Tunnel".

Episodes from the tv show "Time Tunnel" put together for a tv movie. The premise of people being zapped from time period to time period is fun and reminds me of the show "Sliders". One of the benefits of this format is that there is variety as we move on to another time period before things get too stale (although the final segment revolving around aliens landing in a western town is fun at first but really drags by the end). We get to experience a futuristic dystopian movie, a prehistoric dinosaur movie and Irwin Allen even throws in stuff about bees which I assume is a reference to his other film, The Swarm. It all feels like a cheesy…
This TV movie feels disjointed like it’s three stories in one, which it is. It’s three Time Tunnel episodes pasted together. The editing and storyline thread unraveled the first 5 minutes. I actually watched this to remember the TV show. That’s all I wanted to say. It’s time to consume some protein material.
