While working at his extravagant computer, computer whiz-kid Harlan, comes into contact with a group from the future including a fairly absurd professor. What happens is that a young man comes from the future back to the present and appears to be Harlan's grown self—a self-centred and smug exploitive man. The two clash while the professor tries to get the old Harlan back to the future.
—based on Peter Malone’s film reviews

Indexer Notes

(3)
  1. The synopsis is from a fuller review by Peter Malone.
  2. The film was part of an Australian series of made-for-tv movies called Tomorrow’s News. Based on several synopses, they seem aimed at a YA audienc. We don’t know the network or exact broadcast date.
  3. It’s unclear to us whether The Colonial Cavalry was a working title (as indicated at the IMDb) or the title of a video release (as suggested at by a comment that the movies were generally retitled for VHS).
