Running Against Time (1990 TV Movie)
Good production values, pedestrian plot.

I watched this strictly for the sci-fi premise and fortunatly the cast art direction were very good. There's an obvious attention to detail in the sets and locations, but the story is rather bland. The script could've been pulled from any episode of "The Time Tunnel", where the time travelers land on an historic date and try to avert a tragedy. Usually trapped in a situation, where they are faced with the need to change history. "Running Against Time" had great potential The possibilities are endless and ripe for plot twists, but instead it's a very simplistic plot which ovoids the ironies and dangers inherent with time-travel.

Heres a few titles to look for, if you like this kind of film. "The Final Countdown", "Philadelphia Experiment", "Time After Time", "Twelve Monkeys", "Primer", "Happy Accidents", "The Time Travelers"(1964), "Planet of the Apes"(1968), "The Time Machine"(1960)
