The time tunnel (1966-1967): two scientists, captured in the vortex of a travel experiment in secret time, are jumping through the fundamental moments of history.

Allen was nicknamed the “disaster master” for his large -scale productions and also created Lost in spacewhich has been successfully restarted by Netflix in recent years.
