Time After Time

Time-travelling adventure in which sci-fi writer HG Wells sets chase for serial killer Jack the Ripper - both transported from London 1893 to modern day.

What if H.G. Wells' time machine invention wasn't fiction? And what if Jack the Ripper escaped capture by fleeing his own time to take refuge in ours - with Wells himself in pursuit? In modern-day San Francisco, the Ripper (David Warner) finds our violent age to his liking. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) dislikes the brave new world of fast food and television, far from the utopia he envisioned. But he is cheered by the emancipation of women, particularly one irresistible banker (Mary Steenburgen).
