At a dinner in London on 5 January 1900, inventor George announces to his friends that he has achieved what he long predicted - time travel, using a machine of his own design. He journeys through different eras, eventually reaching the year 800,000, where humanity has split into two species: the gentle, surface-dwelling Eloi, vegetarians who live in ease and idleness, and the terrifying Morlocks, who inhabit the underground world and perform all physical labour. Among the Eloi, George meets a young woman, Weena…
