Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)
Confirmed 8/10, up from 6: the Soviet government sends young communist Tomas from 1987 to 2018 London, where he meets his 56-year-old self; a woman with a time device then says they are stuck in a time loop, and the three return to 1987 to try to close it. Self-meeting, a loop and return travel sustain the whole film.
The synopsis explicitly describes a Soviet agent sent from the 1980s into future London; the means remain unspecified.

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: 29.41 base × 71.2% weighting.
Partial inputs flag incomplete source metadata. Provisional weighting flags a time-travel assessment that remains uncertain; it receives no additional confidence penalty.
