Directing his first film since 1998’s Lethal Weapon 4, Richard Donner<\/a> helmed this big-budget adaptation of Michael Crichton<\/a>‘s novel of the same name. Featuring a script by first-time screenwriter George Nolfi, Timeline begins in France in the near future. A group of students from Yale are there studying a medieval site, when their professor, played by Billy Connolly<\/a>, mysteriously goes missing. To make matters more enigmatic, the students are then taken back to the United States by a shadowy technology company called ITC, led by Robert Doniger (David Thewlis<\/a>). The eccentric Doniger explains that because of a machine that his company built, their professor is trapped in 14th century France. In order to rescue him, two of the students, Chris Hughes (Paul Walker<\/a>) and Kate Erickson (Frances O’Connor<\/a>), along with Andre Marek (Gerard Butler<\/a>), an archeological site manager, must travel to France, circa 1357, amid archaic war, deadly diseases, and other unexpected pitfalls. Meanwhile, David Stern (Ethan Embry<\/a>), a third student, stays behind to keep an eye on the shady Doniger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A group of archaeologists become trapped in the past when they go there to retrieve a friend.
