Movie Spoiler Warning!! [Can Ruin A Movie Ending]

Lewis, an aspiring young inventor at an orphanage, has yet to be adopted. Believing that his real mother is the only person who really loves him, he decides to work on a machine to scan his memory to locate her. However, he spends so much time on it that he keeps his roommate Michael "Goob" Yagoobian awake. As a result, Goob falls asleep during an important Little League game.

When Lewis takes his memory scanner to his school's science fair, he meets Wilbur Robinson, a mysterious boy who claims to be a "time cop" from the future. Wilbur says that a man wearing a bowler hat has stolen a time machine that Wilbur needs to recover. When Lewis tries to demonstrate the scanner, it falls apart, throwing everything into chaos. Upset, Lewis leaves the fair while the Bowler Hat Guy, with the help of a robotic bowler hat named Doris, repairs and steals the scanner.

Wilbur follows Lewis to the orphanage and asks him to repair the scanner. Lewis says he'll only do so if Wilbur can prove he is telling the truth, which Wilbur does by taking Lewis to the future in a second time machine. When they arrive, however, Lewis refuses to return, saying he can use the time machine instead. He and Wilbur get into an argument and crash. Wilbur asks Lewis to repair the machine, which Lewis will only do if Wilbur takes him back to visit his mother afterward. Reluctantly, Wilbur agrees and hides Lewis in the garage, but the latter leaves and meets the rest of Wilbur's eccentric family except for Cornelius, Wilbur's father.

Following Wilbur and Lewis to the future, the Bowler Hat Guy and Doris unsuccessfully try to kidnap Lewis. Meanwhile, the Robinsons offer to adopt Lewis, but change their mind when they learn that he's from the past. Wilbur then admits to lying to Lewis about taking the latter back to see his mom. Lewis runs away in disgust and meets the Bowler Hat Guy, who gives him enough clues to figure out that Lewis is Cornelius and the Bowler Hat Guy is Goob. After losing the Little League game, Goob had become so bitter that he was never adopted and remained in the orphanage long after it closed. Doris was "DOR-15," one of Lewis' failed and abandoned inventions. They both blamed Lewis for their misfortunes and decided to ruin his career by stealing the memory scanner and claiming credit for it.

The Bowler Hat Guy and Doris take off with the scanner, drastically altering the future to a world minus Wilbur and dominated by Doris clones. Lewis discovers that after stealing the scanner, Doris had taken over, reducing mankind to mindless slaves. He repairs the second time machine, goes to confront Doris and destroys her by promising to never invent her, restoring the future to its utopian self.

Back in Wilbur's time, Lewis finally meets Cornelius, who explains how the memory scanner had started their successful career. Lewis then decides to return to the science fair, but Wilbur makes one stop first: as he promised, he takes Lewis back to the moment when his mother abandoned him. Lewis nearly stops her from leaving the infant at the orphanage, but decides not to, explaining to Wilbur that he already has a family.

Wilbur drops Lewis off in his own time and leaves. Lewis heads to the fair, but stops long enough to wake up Goob just in time for him to make the winning catch. Back at the fair, Lewis asks for one more chance to demonstrate his invention, which this time succeeds. He is adopted by Lucille, one of the science fair judges, and her husband Bud, who nickname him "Cornelius" and take him to their home. As Lewis leaves, he turns and waves at Goob, who is leaving the orphanage with a Little League trophy and a new family. The movie ends with a quote by Walt Disney containing Lewis/Cornelius' motto: "Keep Moving Forward."

Movie Spoiler Warning!! [Can Ruin A Movie Ending]

The film is set in New York City during October 1999. John Sullivan (Caviezel), a 36 year old homicide Detective, is still traumatized over the death of his fireman father, Frank Sullivan (Quaid), thirty years ago. Living in the same house where he grew up, he discovers his father's ham radio following a breakup with his girlfriend Samantha (Melissa Errico) and begins transmitting.

Because of unusual aurora borealis activity, John discovers he has managed to make contact with his father exactly 30 years in the past the day before his death in a warehouse fire. John is able to warn his father of the fire that would have otherwise taken his life and although Frank initially disbelieves that John is his future son, he heeds John's advice when he realizes that John accurately described the outcome of both Games 1 and 2 of the 1969 Major League Baseball World Series, which had yet to be played when their initial conversation takes place.

In the next conversation, Frank is momentarily occupied and allows 6-year-old John and his best friend Gordo to talk to John on the radio, who, knowing the adult Gordo is into finance and the stock market tells him to remember "a magic word": Yahoo, telling him it's like "Abracadabra".

Having saved his father from the fire, John now creates a new timeline, while paradoxically retaining his memory of the old. The following day, in this new altered timeline, John discovers that Frank had died of lung cancer from chain-smoking and John's mother Julia Sullivan (Elizabeth Mitchell) was murdered by a serial killer. In the old timeline John's mother left her job as a nurse at a hospital to attend to Frank's funeral arrangements, but in the new timeline, she remained at work and was present to save the life of a man who is later revealed to be the "Nightingale Killer", a man who would have died that night from being given a lethal mix of Benazepril and Benadryl had she not been there to correct the error. In the erased timeline, the "Nightingale Killer" had killed only three nurses before his death, with the corpse of one victim not being discovered until 1999. Having been saved from death, he goes on to kill a total of ten women with Julia being sixth.

Using information from 1999 Police files on the impending six killings, John and Frank work together across the gap of time to stop the murderer in 1969 and save Julia. Frank successfully averts the murder of the first expected victim, but when he tries to prevent the next, he is attacked by the killer in a nightclub bathroom and his driver's license is taken from his wallet. When he regains consciousness, Frank rushes to the woman's apartment only to find he is too late.

But all is not lost. John realizes the killer's fingerprints are now on Frank's wallet and John tells his father to seal the wallet in a bag and hide it in the house under a floorboard where it will remain untouched for 30 years. Once Frank accomplishes this, it suddenly appears in 1999 in the same spot. John retrieves it, takes the wallet to the crime lab and learns that the fingerprints belong to a now-retired Detective named Jack Shepard (Shawn Doyle). After learning that Shepard's mother is dead in this new timeline when she was alive in the first timeline, John realizes that she's yet another one of his victims, but no one made the connection as Shepard hid the fact from authorities. However, with his driver's license having been planted at the latest murder scene by the Shepard, Frank becomes a suspect of the murders and is taken in for questioning by his Police Detective friend (and John's later boss), Satch DeLeon (Andre Braugher).

At the station, Frank is confronted by Shepard but electrocutes him and then triggers the fire alarm to escape the station. Later searching for evidence in Shepard's apartment, Frank is caught in the act by Shepard and chased to a stockyard. With Frank's accurate prediction of the outcome of the World Series (specifically, batsman Cleon Jones' "shoe polish" hit incident) provided by John thirty years later, Satch is finally convinced of the truth about Shepard and Frank is cleared of all suspicion after a fight in which Shepard is presumed drowned. However, John knows this cannot be true because his 1999 family photo still shows his mother absent, meaning she was still murdered.

That night, while father and son are talking on the radio, Shepard suddenly breaks into the Sullivan household, both in 1969 and 1999 at the same time and a brutal fight occurs in both time periods in which 36-year-old John is overpowered by Sheppard and 6-year-old John is held hostage. Thanks to Shepard being distracted by the struggle over the radio and an attack from Julia, Frank manages to blow off his hand with a shotgun, causing him to flee. In 1999, Shepard's hand suddenly shrivels and vanishes before his eyes and the inside furnishings of the house suddenly change as well. From the shadows comes Frank, alive and aged and shoots Shepard again, killing him as he attempted to fire back. In this final timeline, Frank neither died in the warehouse fire nor from having lung cancer, upon quitting smoking 30 years earlier at his son's request.

The film concludes with a neighborhood baseball game in 1999. Frank and Julia are there, along with John, the girlfriend who had left him in the original timeline and is now his pregnant wife and his son, Frank. The film shows his best friend Gordo playing outfield and chasing a hit baseball. It smashes into the headlight of Gordo's Mercedes-Benz and we see the personalized license plate that says "1Yahoo", telling the audience that John's single-word advice about Yahoo 30 years earlier has paid off. As John wins the game with a home-run that allows both himself and Frank to score, a montage is shown of John's life with his parents in the new timeline.

Full Movie Story Summary :-

Movie Spoiler Warning!! [Can Ruin A Movie Ending]

A gang of thieves break into a high-security warehouse. An alert is sent to the police, but canceled for unknown reasons. Despite this, two LAPD patrol officers, Hank Rafferty (Zahn) and his partner Charlie (Timothy Busfield), decide to check it out anyway. As they split up to search the warehouse, someone shoots at Charlie, killing him, before the thieves drive away, leaving Hank in a state of shock.

Earl Montgomery's (Lawrence) lifelong dream is to become a police officer. He passes the entrance exam with flying colors, but his promising performance during training is hampered by his unshakable conviction that all black persons are innocent victims of white racism. For instance: confronted by cardboard cutouts of an armed gang, Earl shoots all of them except the black one, explaining to his incredulous instructor that the black one is obviously an innocent bystander (even with the thug in the cutout wielding a Desert Eagle pistol). Earl is finally expelled from the police academy when he tries an outrageous stunt during a simulated car chase that results in a massive explosion on the obstacle course.

A dispirited Hank crosses paths with Earl when Hank notices Earl trying to get into his car when he finds his keys stuck inside. Suspicious, Hank starts to question Earl, who race-baits Hank to the point of getting himself arrested. As soon as he's cuffed, however, a bumblebee comes along, to which Earl is virulently allergic. Earl panics and Hank tries to swat the bee away with his nightstick. From afar, it looks like Hank, a white cop, is brutalizing a black suspect, a story that Earl eagerly backs up in Court. Disgraced, Hank is dismissed from the police force and convicted of aggravated assault by an all-black jury. He spends six months in prison, almost entirely in voluntary solitary confinement, due to death threats from the black inmates.

After being released from prison, Hank takes a job as a security guard and continues to investigate Charlie's death, despite his lack of access to police information. Noticing an alarm being tripped at a soft drink warehouse, then disabled, Hank notices the similarity with the earlier burglary, and goes to investigate.

Meanwhile, Earl, who happens to be working for the same security company, is on duty at the warehouse, but is taking time off for some role-playing with his girlfriend, Lola (Mari Morrow). When Hank arrives, he interrupts a burglary, and a gunfight erupts with the thugs, during which Hank and Earl cross paths again. Though the thugs get away, Hank recognizes the tattoo of the man who shot Charlie, whose name he learns is Nash (Eric Roberts).

One of the thieves dropped a cellular phone, which leads them to a semi truck rented by the killers. Inside, Hank and Earl find a van, which Hank recognizes from the earlier robbery. In a brief skirmish on a bridge, they drive the van out of the truck but the van falls off the bridge onto a garbage barge. Inside the van are what look like ordinary beer kegs, but Hank has them examined by a friend who works at a foundry, who informs them that the kegs are actually made of an aerospace alloy, which is worth millions.

Hank takes the van and the kegs to the house of his ex-girlfriend, Denise (Robinne Lee). They broke up after Hank was arrested, and, since Earl owes Hank for saving his life during the warehouse shootout, Hank orders Earl to tell Denise the truth about the "assault." However, when Earl sees that Denise is an attractive black woman, he forgets his promise and starts hitting on her, playing the victim again. She throws both of them out of the house, and when Hank asks for an explanation, Earl reveals that he disapproves of interracial dating. Hank is infuriated and points out that for all his talk about racism, it is actually Earl himself who is the racist. During the argument, Hank punches Earl and storms off. Earl runs back to Hank, just as they are both cornered by police, learning that they are wanted as suspects in the bridge shootout. After they manage to escape, Hank realizes that the thieves must have an inside man in the police department.

Tracing the van's owner to an address Hank and Earl stake out the place, but Earl foolishly rushes inside on his own, where he is confronted by Nash. Hank manages to get Earl to safety, but Earl takes a bullet in the leg. Since the police are looking for them, they can't go to a hospital, but instead return to Denise's house. She reluctantly agrees to treat Earl's wound (which is, in fact, little more than a graze). Fortunately for Hank, a bee flies into the house, and Earl runs for cover, making Denise realize that Hank's outlandish story about the "assault" on Earl was actually true. She throws Earl out of the house and reconciles with Hank.

Based on something overheard from Nash, they follow him to a meeting at a Yacht Club with Detective Frank McDuff (Colm Feore), the police traitor. Hank and Earl share everything they know with Lt. Washington (Bill Duke), and then pretend to approach McDuff, offering to sell him back the "beer kegs" for a large sum of money. However, Nash gets wind of their plans and takes Washington hostage first.

During the climactic confrontation, Earl and Hank meet with McDuff, Nash and his men near the coast, rescuing Washington and killing or apprehending most of the thugs, including McDuff. During the shootout, Hank saves Earl's life by warning him about a gunman taking aim at him, getting shot himself in the process. Though wounded, Hank takes off after Nash alone and kills him by dropping a crane load onto an unstable slab Nash is standing on, flipping him over a cliff and into the ocean.

In honor of their heroic actions, Hank is reinstated in the LAPD and Earl is admitted to the force, and they are made partners a short time later. While on patrol, Hank sees a suspicious-looking man trying to break into a car, but Earl assures him that the man has just locked himself out, and helps unlock the car. But as the man drives away, the car's real owner screams, and Earl, realizing his mistake, shoots the back tires out. He tells the owner she can "re-procure" her car, at which moment the car blows up, leaving both cops dumbfounded.
