Now they must restore the continuity of time, stop the time terrorists, save the world and fall in love all over again.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Tom Baker's post-Doctor Who wilderness years—he reportedly took the role for a weekend's pay and unlimited craft services.
Backtime represents peak 1990s direct-to-video sci-fi: cheap digital effects, time-loop narratives stolen from better films, and a single recognizable name on the cover.
