Wells chases Jack the Ripper, one of the most feared serial murderers of all time, from 19th-century London to modern-day San Francisco in this science fiction thriller. When Jack the Ripper (David Warner) flees across time in one of H.G. Wells' (Malcolm McDowell) inventions, Wells follows him to the 20th Century.

Critics Consensus: With the three principal actors clearly having fun with their roles, Time After Time becomes an amusing, light-hearted fantasy lark.

Reviews

Hollywood Reporter

Robert Osborne

Such a scrambling of fact, fiction and imagination in itself deserves back-patting and, for the most part, the rendering is as delightful as the basic idea.

Time After Time is still a fun fish-out-of-water flick that deserves more attention than it has received in the thirty years following its release. But there's still plenty of time for that.

TV Guide

Meyer makes a fine directorial debut, pacing the film for optimal suspense despite some obvious holes in the script.

A delightful, entertaining trifle of a film that shows both the possibilities and limitations of taking liberties with literature and history.
