Plot

A fun journey through the history of the automobile, this film is about a group of future computer hackers that wire an arcade game to work as a time machine. Among appearances in the movie are Henry Ford, Mercedes Benz, and modern race car driver Niki Lauda, as one of the boys becomes trapped within the newly created game.

Sinekatalog’s take

A family sci-fi romp in which young computer whizzes turn an arcade game into a time machine and tour automobile history. It is playful, educational and clearly aimed at children. A cheerful, nostalgic curiosity for fans of eighties kids' adventures.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
