1201 is a 1993 science fiction television film directed by Jack Sholder, and starring Helen Slater, Jonathan Silverman, Jeremy Piven, and Martin Landau. It originally aired on the Fox Network in the United States.

Barry Thomas is bored with his job and moons over highprofile scientist Lisa Fredericks. On the way home, Barry sees Lisa fatally shot and takes it very hard. While at home at midnight, he receives a strong electrical shock. The next morning the events of the previous day are repeating themselves and Barry is the only one who realizes that the world is stuck in a time loop. During several repetitions, Barry figures out how to save Lisa and get closer to her. His actions also get him fired and arrested for knowing too much about events. Barry and Lisa eventually learn that her boss, Dr. Thadius Moxley, is conducting illegal and unethical experiments with fasterthanlight particle acceleration that have caused the time loop. In fact, it was Lisas partial knowledge of Dr. Moxleys illegal activities that resulted in her murder by his henchmen. After getting involved with an undercover government agent, they must stop her boss from starting his experiment at the end of a loop or the world will be trapped forever repeating the same day.Expanding on the originals premise of a onehour time loop, this version saw the main character reliving the same 24hour period, which would restart at one minute past midnight rather than midday as in the other versions. It also contains a pseudohappy ending, as the protagonist ultimately finds a way to correct the time loop over the course of the films 92minute running time. ........
