A seemingly insignificant act may cause the fabric of history to unravel
in this sci-fi adventure. Charles Hatton (Ben Kingsley) owns and
operates a successful firm known as Time Safari. Thanks to time travel
technology developed by Hatton's employee Sonia Rand (Catherine
McCormack), Time Safari allows big game hunters to journey back to
prehistoric days and shoot living, breathing dinosaurs. Rand picks out
the dinosaur in question, who is soon to die, and creates a floating
walkway for the
hunters, so
the impact of their presence will not be felt by the land around them.
But on one expedition, things go horribly wrong when a nervous hunter
steps off the walkway and crushes a butterfly, a tiny act that proves to
have massive consequences over the course of several million years. As
the earth's climate and animal life begin to mutate due to this shift in
natural history, Time Safari's leading hunting guide, Travis Ryer
(Edward Burns), works beside Rand in a desperate attempt to halt the
"ripples of time" before modern civilization completely collapses. A
Sound of Thunder was based on a classic short story by pioneering
science fiction author Ray Bradbury.
