A SOUND OF THUNDER (2005)

MORGAN'S RATING

COMING SOON

Set in the future where time travel is possible, this is the story of a travel agency, Time Safari Inc., that arranges hunting trips for wealthy customers back in time to hunt dinosaurs. Each trip is carefully planned, with a scout identifying dinosaurs about to die, and then sending clients back just seconds before, so the course of time is not altered by the kill. However, in this case, a nervous hunter, Eckels, steps off the trail, and steps on a butterfly. The historical repercussions of the death of a single butterfly, compounded by millions of years of effects, leaves the hunters to return to a future that is not quite the one they came from...
