What happens

Beyond the Time Barrier is a 1960 American science fiction film. It starred Robert Clarke (who also served as producer) and Vladimir Sokoloff, and was directed by Edgar G. Ulmer. Ulmer's wife Shirley acted as a script editor while their daughter Arianne Arden appeared in the film as a Russian pilot. It was one of two low budget sci-fi films shot back-to-back in Dallas, Texas by Ulmer (the other being The Amazing Transparent Man, released in February 1960). The combined filming schedule for both films was only two weeks. It was released on September 8, 1960 on a double bill with The Angry Red Planet (1960). In some areas, it was also shown together with The Amazing Transparent Man (1960). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
