In this film based on the classic novel by H.G. Wells, a scientist (Rod Taylor) invents a time machine that allows him to explore the earth's distant future -- a place of idyllic beauty that also harbors a sinister evil. Co-starring Yvette Mimieux as a docile inhabitant of the future, this sci-fi classic won an Oscar for its trippy special effects that were hands-down ahead of their time. Beware the Morlocks!
