A
Sound of Thunder
Based on
a short story by master of science fiction Ray
Bradbury,
the sci-fi action adventure A Sound
of Thunder is set in the future, when time travel
is not only possible – it's a lucrative monopoly.
It's especially profitable for Charles Hatton (SIR
BEN KINGSLEY), the owner of Time Safari Inc., a travel
agency that specializes in escorting wealthy clients
on exclusive hunting trips back to the Prehistoric
Age.
Under the leadership of seasoned scout Dr. Travis
Ryer (EDWARD BURNS), participants are permitted to
hunt and kill dinosaurs provided they follow a set
of strenuous rules. These guidelines are intended
to protect the creatures' natural habitats and prevent
time travellers from impacting the course of evolution.
When an
expedition is compromised and the rules are broken,
the hunters
return to the future...and
discover the world is a markedly different place
than it was when they left. As "time waves" ripple
from the Prehistoric past through the present to
the uncharted future, Ryer teams up with Sonia Rand
(CATHERINE McCORMACK), the inventor of the time travel
technology, to unravel the mystery behind the catastrophic
historical changes that are threatening to erase
humanity from existence.
