The Time Machine (also
marketed as H. G. Wells' The Time Machine) is a 1960
American period post-apocalyptic science fiction film based
on the 1895 novella of the same name by H. G. Wells. It was
produced and directed by George Pal, and stars Rod Taylor, Yvette
Mimieux, and Alan Young. The story is set in Victorian England and
follows an inventor who constructs a machine that enables him to travel into
the distant future. Once there, he discovers that mankind's descendants have divided
into two species, the passive, childlike, and vegetarian Eloi and the
underground-dwelling Morlocks, who feed on the Eloi.
The film was originally released on August 17, 1960, and was
distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It received the Academy
Award for Best Special Effects for its time-lapse photographic
effects, which show the world changing rapidly as the time traveler journeys
into the future.
