Trailer

We have already witnessed a possible future in which humanity in the year 2029 faced the possibility of extinction in a war with machines. In order to prevent human beings from triumphing in that war, a cyborg - the T-800 TERMINATOR - was sent back to the year 1984 to kill the mother of the human resistance leader, John Connor.


Now, we discover that in the future year of 2087, freedom of thought is illegal and the world’s population is controlled by governments that employ technology as a means of control. A small resistance group of free thinkers send a cyborg, ‘Garth A7’ back in time to the year 1966 to prevent a scientist, Professor Sigmund Marx from making a discovery he will term as "Radio-Telepathy" that will eventually result in mind and thought control becoming a reality and as a consequence will lead to the establishment of tyranny in Garth's time. Hot on Garth’s heals are government agents called ‘Tracers’ who have also been sent back from the future to prevent him from carrying out his mission and changing that future.
