Three friends discover that they have the power to travel back and forth 20 years with a sneeze. However, the future is not as good as they hope, and they need to take on the responsibility of saving the world.
A bonkers sci-fi romp, a comic-book explosion of genre wildness, and a festival favorite makes its Rochester debut at The Little.
“Absolutely bonkers. Fun, wild, and traveling at the speed of light through plot, influences, edits, and styles. Just… an insane vision and execution.” – Matt DeTurck
“My deepest condolences to Furiosa, but Escape From the 21st Century is the coolest movie of the year.
It’s funny and epic and heartbreaking and invigorating. Walked out of the theater absolutely buzzing.” – Claira Curtis
“80% of the soundtrack was bagpipes so they could afford 1 minute of holding out for a hero by bonnie tyler and it was so worth it” – Maya
