What happens

Timeline is a 2003 historical science fiction adventure film directed by Richard Donner and starring Paul Walker, Frances O'Connor, Gerard Butler, Billy Connolly, David Thewlis, and Anna Friel. Based on Michael Crichton's 1999 novel of the same name, the film concerns present-day archaeology and history students who are sent back in time to medieval France to rescue their professor from the middle of a battle. Jerry Goldsmith composed the original score, which would have been his last released before his death in 2004, but was replaced with a new score by Brian Tyler, after the first cut of the film was re-edited and Goldsmith's increasing health problems prevented him from continuing. The film was poorly received by critics and bombed at the box office, losing an estimated $49 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
