Plot edit
The film opens with an apparent terrorist attack involving a nuclear device which destroys New York City, killing nine million people. The perpetrator, Benjamin Rourke, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, had become embittered by the death of his wife. Having learned of a potential time travel experiment in progress, he engineered the bomb plot to force the US Government to send agents back to prevent the disaster from happening. He had also arranged matters that the only way to do this was to have them prevent his wife's death. The story describes the process of the team, CIA agents Sean Knox and Danny Gates, and scientist Lyndsay Bryce, arriving at this conclusion and their efforts without doing too much damage to the time-line.
