When you switch off a filament lamp, the light just does not go off just like that. There is a temporary time before the brightness disappears. Even life is that. If somehow we can get into the dimension when two people die, one life can mathematically be calculated to get the others and can be made to turn the tide of events. This bizarre time travel where scientists can communicate through a digital interphase to save the world is the theme of this movie.
Capt Colter Steven finds himself trapped in the body of a school teacher and on a train where a time bomb is about to be detonated. Through repeatedly moving to and fro between his old self and new, and communication through his computer, the Afghan-missioned army helicopter pilot is actually dead but is sent on a secret mission to find the culprit behind a train attack so as to avert other future attacks.
His mission was just to locate the information about the perpetrators and pass it to the people in the real world. What he was actually doing is that he is going to an alternate universe to retrieve useful information. What he actually does in this universe, he is told, would not have effects in the real world. If he communicated with his father, his father would not know in real life. If he managed to avert the train blast in the other world, it would still happen! At least that is what he are made to realise...
An interesting watch in the line of Groundhog Day.
