THE TIME MACHINE
In 1895, a mugger kills Dr. Alexander Hartdegen’s fiancée, Emma. Hartdegan builds a time machine, travels back and saves Emma, only to see her killed in an accident. He travels forward in time to May 24, 2030 [27:19 to 32:58] at the NYC public library. where a holographic librarian, VOX 114 tells him time travel is impossible. Hartdegan witness the destruction of the Moon in 2037, which renders the Earth’s surface uninhabitable. He is knocked out and ends up in 802,871 A.D. A primitive Eloi named Mara nurses him back to health. After she is taken underground by the Morlocks, who eat the Eloi, Hartdegan uses info from the still functioning VOX 114 to find her. Hartdegan is captured by the telepathic Uber-Morlock who tells Hartdegan he can’t save Emma, as that is what motivated him to build the time machine – if he saved her, he wouldn’t build the machine enabling him to save her, thus creating a paradox. He tells Hartdegan that the Eloi and morlocks are both the descendants of humanity who took different paths after the destruction of the Moon. Hartdegan and the Uber-Morlock end up fighting in the time machine until Hartdegan kills him by pushing him out, resulting in rapid aging and death. Hartdegan stops at a wasteland Earth in 635,427, 810A.D. Since he can’t save Emma, Hartdegan returns and saves Mara, beginning a new life with her and the Eloi. Back in 1899 his friends Philby and his housekeeper Mrs. Watchit lament his disappearance.
