The Time Machine is a science fiction movie edited by Simon Wells, a famous English

802701.

In that year, the world is controlled by beings that live underground called the Martians. The
Martians control a humanlike group of beings that live on the surface of Earth. They are called the
Eloi. The Martians treat the Eloi very badly. They butcher and cook the Eloi as a source of food. They
are strict and the Eloi are terrified of them. Alexander spends most of his time on Earth's surface with
the friendly Eloi. He ends up saving the life of an Eloi named Weena. Weena becomes dedicated to the
Time Traveler and accompanies him in his exploration of the world, as it existed in 802701.
The Time Traveler becomes an enemy of the Martians. This causes them to attack the Time
Traveler, and kill his good friend Weena. The angry Morlocks try to capture him, but he frees himself
and his time machine. He used it to escape from the year 802701. Before the Time Traveler returns to
his time, he sees glimpses of the future. He sees the end of the world starting to take form.
