A journey during which he sees a number of wars and changes in the world around him, and which ultimately transports him some 800,000 years into the future, where he finds a world ravaged by fate, where humankind has been divided into two sects: The gentle Eloi, living on the surface of the earth, and the Morlocks- mutants who dwell beneath as the Master Race, and who prey upon the weak and simple Eloi. And on that last night of the 19th Century, after his friends leave- gone off to celebrate the arrival of the new century- George acts on his theory by stepping into his machine and beginning a journey that will prove to be the adventure of a lifetime. George, however, views Time as a parameter a variable whose value is subject to change.

His demonstration is met with interest, but skepticism only Filby, it seems, is able to keep an open mind, but even he encourages George to accept the constraints of Time, which to the rational mind are absolute and immutable. On that evening, George, after a discussion of the reality of a `Fourth Dimension,' had given them a demonstration of a model of a `Time Machine,' he had built, a miniature prototype of the machine he hoped would take him some day into the future. It's a tale that actually began one week earlier, on New Year's Eve, 1899, when the five had last been together. Philip Hillyer (Sebastian Cabot), Anthony Bridewell (Tom Helmore), Walter Kemp (Whit Bissell) and his best friend, David Filby (Alan Young), are gathered at his house for dinner, but George is late when he finally shows up, he is disheveled, disoriented and hungry- and has a story that is beyond belief. A week into the 20th Century, four of George's closest friends, Dr. `The Time Machine,' which Pal produced and directed, stars Rod Taylor as George, the inventor/time traveler/hero, who, born into a time and world that doesn't suit him, decides to do something about it. Wells, about an inventor who builds a machine that enables him to travel through time, specifically into the future, where he learns a timeless, universal truth about the machinations of society and some of the basic tenets of human nature. In 1960, filmmaker George Pal brought to fruition a visionary concept for a film based on a novel by H.G.
