12:01 PM is a 1990 short film (27 minutes) directed by Jonathan Heap.Myron Castleman (Kurtwood Smith) is a businessman, who is in an obviously agitated mood as he walks into a park on his lunch break. He sits on a bench next to an artist named Dolores. Moved by her sympathetic manner, Myron tells Dolores the horrible truth: the world is stuck in a time loop. At 1 p.m. every day, the whole universe resets back to 12:01 and repeats the last hour. No one in the world realizes this, except for poor Myron, whose consciousness is independent of the time loop and who is fully aware of what is happening, even as he resets along with everyone else.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Adapted from a 1973 short story by Richard Lupoff. Much more loosely adapted into a 1993 TV movie also called 12:01 PM—which also happened to be the year that Groundhog Day made this story conceit famous. | |

Driven to Suicide: After Prof. Rosenbluth tells him that there is no hope of escape, that the time loop will repeat forever, a despairing Myron shoots himself. And even that doesn't work. | |

"Groundhog Day" Loop | |
| 12:01 PM / int_b5ac90ac | comment |
"Groundhog Day" Loop: Myron is stuck in a particularly unpleasant one. He starts his hour in a traffic island in the middle of the street, hungry for lunch. And because it's only an hour, he can't even go very far or do very much before he resets. Heap and Lupoff thought the makers of Groundhog Day ripped them off, but the trope actually dates at least as far back as a 1945 British film called Dead of Night. | |
