After terrorists destroy Abilene and El Paso with nuclear bombs, the Patriot Act dominates the U.S. and the world is engulfed in World War III. Unfortunately, the U.S. seems to be more engulfed in the next presidential election and finding an alternative to oil, which somehow (don’t ask me how) combine to create a rift in space-time that doesn’t really play much of a role in the self-important plot, but does serve to send two monkeys (or maybe two of the movie’s characters) back in time 69 minutes.
You’d think by now that I would have learned not to rent movies where the director and writer are one and the same, but I keep holding out hope.

And what did we do when we discovered a rift in the fourth dimension? We launched monkeys into it.
