I swear I really, really tried to find this on my own. But after floundering for an hour in several movie search databases, I conceded that I’ll never find it myself. So can anyone tell me the name of the following movie: Genre: Sci-Fi Year made: 1950-1970 Theatrical (not TV or video) Plot Summary: A team of scientists create a time portal on the eve of a nuclear war. They go through the portal moments before their lab is vaporized. They find themselves in the future where Earth is a radioactive desert inhabited by mutants. The sole surviving humans live underground protected by androids with guns built into their hands. Their civilization doomed, the last humans work with the scientists to recreate their portal to escape into time. ---

Could [this](http://us.imdb.com/Plot?0058659) be it? ---

No such movie exists. You must have had a terrible dream or you have some ability to create the most deranged movie ideas. Give it up. Jeffery ---

Yup, it was _The Time Travelers_. Here’s a link to a better review of the movie: [The Time Travelers](http://www.kiva.net/~mmiller/sf/sfm/ttt.html) ---

I think it’s a crappy Australian movie called _Time Guardian_, with Carrie Fisher in it. Though I may be wrong. * * * **-PIGEONMAN-** Hero For A New Millennium! [The Legend Of PigeonMan](http://www.hotkey.net.au/~guanolad/pigeonman/) - **Back in the new year!** Honest. I promise. No, really. ---

In fact I must be wrong if that’s when you’re dating it. Oh well. * * * **-PIGEONMAN-** Hero For A New Millennium! [The Legend Of PigeonMan](http://www.hotkey.net.au/~guanolad/pigeonman/) - **Back in the new year!** Honest. I promise. No, really.
