Directed by Richard Donner, this pulse-pounding adventure plunges a team of archaeologists into the heart of the Hundred Years' War. When a brilliant but reckless professor (played by Billy Connolly) goes missing during a dig in France, his son Chris (portrayed by Paul Walker) and a group of graduate students discover that the professor has actually been transported back in time to 1357. The team, which includes the determined Kate (played by Frances O'Connor) and the skilled André (portrayed by Gerard Butler), must follow him through a quantum rift to rescue him before the portal collapses. Trapped in a brutal medieval world of clashing armies and crumbling castles, they must blend in with a warring French nobleman’s forces while facing the constant threat of death. The film masterfully blends historical authenticity with high-stakes action, as the modern-day characters struggle to survive in a time where a single misstep could alter history forever. With a tone that balances thrilling combat sequences with genuine character drama, Timeline offers a gripping journey through time where the past is not just a place to visit, but a battlefield to escape.
