fiction, film : “Time Trap”.
It's Time To Recall.
Let's Get Started.
Turn On Subtitles and Spoilers Ahead!
The movie begins with Hopper, an archaeology
professor and his dog, Boss, are looking for his
family who disappeared after descending in a cave
while looking for the Fountain of Youth back in
the 1970s. He then notices there is a cave far in
the distance. Upon arrival at the entrance of the
cave, he sees a cowboy man whose gun and attire
don't seem to be from our generation, seemingly frozen in time. Shocked with the discovery,
Hopper turns back and gets back home. Apparently, he had set up this exploration
trip with his teaching assistants, Taylor and
Jackie. But, after Hopper arrives at home, he
tells them that the situation has changed and the
professor decides to go back to the cave alone.
As Hopper enters the cave, he discovers there is
a layer that separates the atmosphere between the
outside world and the cave. He decides to break
through the layer and the cowboy man he found
at the previous visit starts to move. It has been 2 days since the professor's departure,
but until now Taylor and Jackie haven't heard anything from him. So they decide to look
for
him. Because they don't have their own S U V,
they call Cara, Taylor`s crush, and ask her
to borrow her dad`s S U V. Apparently, Veeves, Cara`s sister, also has a school project to
do,
so Cara decides to take her as well. They are
also accompanied by Veeves`s friend, Furby.
The kids arrive and find Hopper's parents van
where they discover that the professor all this
time is seeking for his family at the cave, not
some hippies from the 70s they were told before.
They then find an old rope that leads them into a different part of the cave.
There, they find the rope had been cut off and
learn that it is not Hopper`s rope as it is
already very old. They also discover that the
cave is very deep. The kids decide to descend
further into the cave, leaving Furby to keep watch because he is too afraid to join them.
While going down, Cara discovers the same invisible layer that Hopper found earlier,
claiming that it changes the air completely. They decide to break through the layer.
Back to Hopper, a moments later after he follows the cowboy man,
he starts to feel something strange. He notices a strange dance of light. It is as if someone
is
constantly dimming and brightening the entrance of the cave with a huge flash or something.
After that, he suddenly hears a screaming voice
and escapes from the cave. As we see previously,
Hopper entered the cave when the sun was still shining, but only less than 5 minutes inside,
the outside world has become very different as
his car is covered by overgrowth plants and it is
already night. It just seems like a couple minutes
in the cave is equivalent to decades outside.
He also finds Cara`s S U V and Jackie`s backpack, so he decides to get back into the cave.
Back to the kids, as they begin to explore, they
suddenly hear screaming voices and the girls
decide to leave from the cave, starting with Jackie. But the rope suddenly gets
cut off and she falls off, injuring both Jackie and Taylor who tries to save her.
Taylor then pulls the second rope, finding that one to be cut off as well.
The group begins to think that it is Furby who
purposely cuts the rope for messing around.
They try to communicate with Furby from the radio, but he does not respond. Eventually,
they hear some muffled sounds from the radio asking for help, claiming that it is Furby!
Left
with no option, the group decide to move further inside the cave, leaving the injured Jackie
alone.
At the other side of the cave, the group discovers a cut off rope and Furby`s dead body, with
a
broken neck. They then replay the recording from
Furby`s camera to see what happened to him. Furby
reveals from the Hopper`s Dad`s journal that the
cave keeps magic water that heals people. Because
Hopper`s sister got sick, the family decides to go
to the cave looking for the water. After spending
several days outside the cave, Furby decides he is going to go in looking for his friend,
who he`s presumed dead, for the car keys. While
it is a whole day for him, the rest of the group
only experience seconds inside the cave. As Furby
enters, his rope gets cut, causing him to fall,
but doesnt die. He lies there unconscious for
about an hour and wakes up to talk to Taylor, but
suddenly a caveman attacks and kills him. Veeves
also spots something nonsense as the timecode from
the recording spans several days while they only have been in the cave for an hour.
Because both Taylor and Jackie are injured, Only Cara and Veeves are left to find a way
out and call for help. Because Veeves is younger, Cara decides to climb up the
same way they came down and manages to come out to find a completely different place.
Now, there is no sign of vegetation and the air
also feels weird, causing Cara to have difficulty
breathing. She also spots a huge dust storm coming her way. She then discovers a massive
triangle-shaped object in the sky. Unable to call
for help, she goes back inside to the cave but
is accused by others for not even trying to get
help. She is being accused because only a couple
of seconds had passed in the cave, while she had been outside for about thirty minutes.
The group realizes that the time outside the cave
is running faster than inside the cave, causing
the event inside the cave to move more slowly. Taylor also adds that the ropes at the top
of the
cliff are aging at a rapid rate, causing them to
severed due to the friction with the cliff side.
Because of that, Veeves rewatches the recording of Furby`s footage, realizing that the sun
paths
keep changing. She also reveals that the bright is summer and the dark is winter,
making one cycle of seasons seen in only about 1 second, which means an entire year passes
by
in only a second. So, we can calculate and discover that approximately five
thousand four hundred years have passed on the
earth since they have been in the cave.
When Cara attempts to climb on the cliff one more time, suddenly a very futuristic
and high-tech ladder pops down into the cave along with a giant being covered in spacesuit.
Out of nowhere, a caveman appears and begins to
attack the giant, but is subdued non-lethally.
The group decides to run away to another part of
the cave. There, they find the dead bodies of the
cowboy man and Hopper's parents. They are also
confronted by three other cavemen. Taylor decides
to fight the cavemen, but is killed brutally, while the girls flee to the other side of
the
cave. Cara comes back and finds his dead body. While crying over him, she is confronted by
the
alien giant. He picks up Taylor`s body and drags
him to the pool of water. Magically, the water
manages to bring Taylor back to life. The cavemen come back and attack the giant,
knocking off his helmet which exposes him to
the air he is not able to breathe. Even so,
he still manages to “capture” all the cavemen.
Before he dies, he shows the group several media
clips about their disappearance and indicating that humans have begun to move to another
planet
in order to preserve humanity. At this point, the group realizes that there is no way back
and they must decide whether they have to get
out there right now or live there forever.
But, Taylor eventually finds a mortally injured Hopper in front of another thicker layer of
wall,
containing Hopper`s long-missing sister and frozen
folks from various eras who are fighting to seize
the Youth Fountain. Hopper explains that the whole
cave is a system which was designed to protect the
fountain and each layer has a different speed, making the time in the deeper layer much slower
than the previous layer. The group uses the water
to heal the injured Jackie and dead Furby, but
they are being attacked by the remaining caveman. Since they have nowhere to go, they decide
to
use the high-tech ladder from the giant to climb
outside the cave. As they reach the cave`s mouth,
they discover that the entrance has been filled by water. Cara tries to break through the
layer,
but suddenly is yanked by strange creatures, which
turns out later to be a further evolved human. A
moments later, A fully-suited Cara returns to the cave, followed by high-tech rope to
retrieve everyone from the cave, including Furby, Hopper, and Hopper`s parents.
At the end of the film, Furby, Hopper, his parents and sister are all brought back to
life.
They are now on the bigger spaceship that is headed towards the new Earth.
