Timescape (1992 film)

Timescape, released on video as Grand Tour Disaster in Time, is a 1992 American science fiction film by Director David Twohy. This timetravelthemed film is based on the novella Vintage Season by Henry Kuttner and C.L. Moore.

Haunted by the death of his wife, Ben Wilson Jeff Daniels, has recently returned to his hometown and purchased an old guest house on the outskirts of town, which he is renovating with his young daughter Hillary Ariana Richards. When local bus driver Oscar arrives with a tour group from South California, the groups leader insists on renting out the rooms at the guest house, pointedly rejecting Bens suggestion that they could stay at his friends large hotel in the middle of town. Ben soon begins to note their peculiar behaviour, manner and dress. Oscar points out the fact that, while they purport to be tourists, they do not carry cameras or take photographs. Shortly after they settle into their rooms, another stranger, Quish David Wells, arrives to join them, and Ben notices the odd fact that Quishs clothes have a fine covering of ash.Bens suspicions are heightened by events of the following day, when Quish has a minor accident while walking through the town. Ben helps him, in the process recovering Quishs dropped American passport, which he discovers has been stamped with locations inside the United States that are dated many decades apart. The local doctor then shows Ben an Xray of Quishs head, which reveals that there is a mysterious object embedded in his skull. As they leave the surgery, Wilson confronts Quish, having deduced that the stamps correspond to the times and places of famous disasters, including the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the crash of the Hindenburg and the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens volcanic eruption hence the ash on Quishs clothing. Unnerved, Quish will only respond by warning Wilson to leave town immediately and not return until he is sure it is safe. ........
