Terror from the Year 5000 is a sci-fi film involving Time Travel with a twist. Dr. Earling and his rich assistant/benefactor, Victor, have developed a time machine of sorts. Said time machine, after a test, materializes a curio statue. Earling is quite excited and sends letters to museum curator Bob Hedges, but once there's no reply, his daughter, Claire, tries sending the statue followed by a telegram.
