In this case, a group of archaeologists and combat experts led by Paul Walker and Frances O Connor use a 3-D fax machine (so much for technobabble!) to time-travel back to France in 1357, in hopes of retrieving Walker s father and returning safely to the present. No such luck! Fending for themselves against marauding hordes of medieval French warriors at war with the invading British, these semi-intrepid travelers find their body count rising, and the deadline for their return home is rapidly approaching.
