 "A SOUND OF THUNDER is a sci-fi action adventure based on a short story
by Ray Bradbury. The film is set in the future where a travel agency, Time
Safari Inc. (run by Sir Ben Kingsley's character), is in the business of
hunting trips for wealthy customers...back in time. All clients travel to
the Jurassic Age to hunt dinosaurs with seasoned scout Dr. Travis Ryer (Ed
Burns). The one rule the travelers must obey is they cannot step off the
Time Safari catwalk for fear of destroying the natural habitat and, in
turn, changing the course of evolution. However, in one time-altering jump
a nervous hunter steps off the trail, killing a butterfly. The death of a
single butterfly, compounded by millions of years of effects, leaves the
hunters to return to a future that is not quite the one they came from.
Now, Travis must team up with the inventor (Catherine McCormack) of the
time machine technology to stop the "time waves" that are rippling up from
this event, threatening to erase humanity. A SOUND OF THUNDER is expected
to be rated PG-13"
