Time After Time

In 1893 London, H.G. Wells uses his newly invented time machine to pursue Jack the Ripper, who has escaped into the future. Wells follows the killer to 1979 San Francisco, where he must adapt to a vastly different world and protect its citizens, all while grappling with the changing nature of society and his own place in it. He also encounters Amy Robbins, a modern woman who becomes entangled in his extraordinary adventure.
