Gurney Jr., involving Time Travel with a twist.Professor Howard Erling (Frederic Downs) and his rich benefactor and assistant Victor (John Stratton) have developed a time machine of sorts. Said time machine, after a test, materializes a curio statue. Erling is quite excited and sends letters to museum curator Dr. Bob Hedges (Ward Costello), but when there's no reply, Erling's daughter Claire (Joyce Holden) tries sending the statue followed by a telegram.The statue turns out to be radioactive, encouraging Hedges to fly down to Florida and check out what's going on. Erling and Hedges agree that they need to find more information, but Victor is too impatient and decides to gun the machine up to 11. He succeeds in bringing something living back and a bunch of mayhem is caused before all is made well.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, please go to the episode recap page. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| Terror from the Year 5000 / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: Near the end Bob is all for repairing the machine and seeing that the people get the genes they need, commenting that despite their looks the mutants are still human. Only for Dr. Earling to say that the future is what they make it *cue triumphant music*. So the moral is: do nothing even though you have the means to help people and try to avoid doing what caused it in the first place... even though there's no guarantee it can be avoided. How the hell would you expect three people to change global events that aren't going to occur for another couple thousand years? Butterfly effects, maybe? | |

| Terror from the Year 5000 / int_7f390ebc | comment |
Developing Doomed Characters: It takes a long time for the Terror to make an appearance. There's a point when the plot stops in its tracks as our characters catch a movie and hit the bar. | |

| Terror from the Year 5000 / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: Carbon dating would not work on objects from the future, because it's an estimate based on radiometric decay. It also only works on organic matter. The statue is made of metal. In addition, numerous people essentially hold the very radioactive statue bare-handed. Scientists, agog at results of testing the device with a Geiger counter, throw it into an open plastic bin of water... which immediately starts boiling. | |
