The Time Machine - Storyline
Based on the 1895 novel by H.G. Wells, this 1960 Sci-Fi feature is about a Victorian scientist known as the Time Traveller who travels approximately 802,701 years into the future. The book is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle or device to travel purposely and selectively forward or backward through time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle or device.
