His father, James, reveals a long-held family secret: men in their family possess the extraordinary ability to travel through time.

He uses it to reprise memories, correct past mistakes, and even woo his long-time crush, Mary (Rachel McAdams). With each journey back in time, Tim becomes more confident in his ability to manipulate the timeline. However, as Tim navigates the complexities of time travel, he begins to understand its limitations. He soon learns that every action has unintended consequences, and that changing the past can have far-reaching effects on those around him. Despite these challenges, Tim's experiences with time travel lead him to a deeper appreciation for life, love, and family. Throughout his adventures, Tim grapples with the responsibilities that come with this extraordinary power. He must balance his desire to alter the course of events with the need to respect the natural flow of time. As he confronts the consequences of his actions, Tim comes to realize that true growth lies not in changing the past but in learning from it. About Time is a charming and thought-provoking exploration of love, family, and the human experience. With its blend of wit, humor, and heartwarming moments, this film will leave audiences reflecting on their own relationships and the choices they've made along the way.
