H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell), chasing the friend who stole his time machine just as he was revealed to be Jack The Ripper, has pursued him from 1893 London to modern-day San Francisco, where, guessing he would exchange cash, he meets Amy (Mary Steenburgen), in Time After Time, 1979.

Writer-director Nicholas Meyer’s opens his first feature, in London some years after the recognized dates of the “Jack The Ripper” murders, an unseen David Warner (as Dr. John Stevenson) engages a streetwalker (Karin Mary Shea) in Time After Time, 1979, starring Malcolm McDowell.

In the opening scene we didn’t quite see a guy named John, also Jack, murdering a London streetwalker, in the second we meet H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) revealing to his friends, especially Dr. John Stevenson (David Warner), his time machine, in Nicholas Meyer’s Time After Time, 1979.

H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell), who learned his close friend was Jack The Ripper, and who sent back his un-tested time machine after he escaped in it, is en route to 1979, director Nicholas Meyer offering a spacey montage, before the hero arrives in San Francisco, in Time After Time, 1979.
