Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A cyborg travels back to stop the invention that will make thought control possible. Future pursuers follow, while the sixties somehow still find room for a teenage dance party. The familiar-sounding setup is played earnestly in this engaging early time-travel chase.

Synopsis and movie facts
In the future world of the year 2087, freedom of thought is illegal and the thoughts of the world's populations are controlled by the government.
