Fourteen-year-old Henry and his friends are about to change history. Sneaking into the apartment of an eccentric Clockmaker, the kids discover that the old man controls time for the entire world through an incredible array of magnificent timepieces and weird machines. When one of the curious kids accidentally pushes a wrong button and gets launched back in time, the space-time continuum is severely disrupted. As everything begins to change around them, the young adventurers must travel back in time to save their friend...and the future

Before you choose

What kind of time-travel story is this?

Temporal events and their consequences run throughout the story. This assessment is provisional.

Meets the archive’s time-travel criteria. The mechanism is classified as Mechanical.

Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)

Retain provisional 9/10. A wrong button in the clockmaker's lair sends a teen back to around 1890 and disrupts the timeline, and his friends follow to rescue him. Only a single viewer review describes the computer-manual history change, so how pervasive the alterations are remains unconfirmed.

A clockmaker's time-controlling machinery accidentally sends a child into the past.

How Titan works

Titan combines the archive’s quality, audience and legacy base with the significance of time travel. It is an index, not a score out of 100, and is distinct from the FMV archive’s scoring model.

Titan = base × [0.20 + 0.80 × (time-travel score ÷ 10)²]

This film: 20.25 base × 84.8% weighting.

Partial inputs flag incomplete source metadata. Provisional weighting flags a time-travel assessment that remains uncertain; it receives no additional confidence penalty.
