Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Journey To the Center of Time
JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF TIME is a picture written and directed by David L. Hewitt in 1967.

In a laboratory of the Stanton company, scientists have found a way to come back 24 hours into the past. Urged by the head of the company to quickly make progress in their experiments, they accidentally throw up their laboratory on the time continuum. They will manage to stop the laboratory 5000 years after 1968 but, on their way back, they miss the point and land on planet Earth one million years B.C.
