Two planes almost collide after a blinding flash of light paralyzes air traffic controller Dylan Branson for a few seconds. Suspended from his job, Dylan starts to notice an ominous pattern of sounds and events that repeats itself in exactly the same manner every day, ending precisely at 2:22 p.m. Also drawn into a complex relationship with a woman, Dylan must figure out a way to break the power of the past and take control of time itself.

Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)

After a strange freeze at 2:22 lets air traffic controller Dylan avert a mid-air collision, the same sequence of sounds, people and events starts recurring around him at that minute every day, drawing him to Grand Central Station. The pattern links him and Sarah to a 1986 love triangle that ended in murder at Grand Central at 2:22, apparently re-enacting itself through reincarnation, and Dylan races to break it. Recurring time patterns and an echo of the past drive the thriller, but days do not reset, no one travels and the past repeats through fate rather than time travel, so it stays at 4.

Consulted plot describes recurring patterns and a reenacted historic murder associated with a stellar event, but not a clearly resetting interval or actual time displacement.

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: 70.08 base × 32.8% weighting.

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