Star Trek actor and director
Jonathan Frakes gets behind the camera again for this
teen-sci-fi/
action-drama in the
Back to the Future (1985) mold.
Jesse Bradford stars as
Zak Gibbs, a teenager who discovers the latest invention to spring from the mind of his scientist father (
Robin Thomas) and a research team that includes his dad's eccentric colleague
Dr. Earl Dopler (
French Stewart). It seems that they have developed a wristwatch that manipulates "hypertime," speeding up the passage of regular time 25 times for the wearer and those near him, making it appear that the rest of the world has become essentially "frozen" in time.
Zak is delighted with the ability that he initially treats as the ultimate gag and superpower, until the National Security Agency begins pursuing both him and the device, intending to confiscate it for nefarious political purposes.
Clockwatchers (2002) co-stars
Michael Biehn,
Paula Garces, and
Julia Sweeney.
