This is a haphazard Sci-Fi western that is hard to build interest in. For a TV movie the special effects are pretty decent. The casting seems to be a grab-bag selection. A history professor(William Devane) and a time traveler(Lauren Hutton)try to foil a mad scientist(Klaus Kinski)from among other things prevent a presidential assignation. At times Hutton is quite fetching, but her appeal easily wears thin. Devane and his ever present hammy smile can also be tolerated. Kinski is excellent as the long white haired loose cannon of a scientist. He is not frightening, but evil indeed. Also in the cast are: John Ratzenberger(from TV's "Cheers"), Forrest Tucker and John Considine. At least, Hutton fans will be pleased.
