Hired by a cheap tabloid, washed-up reporter Tom Merrick (Casper Van Dien) begins collecting research for a series of articles on famous disasters. Along the way, he makes a curious discovery: In the photos of such catastrophes as the San Francisco Earthquake and the Hindenburg explosion, he notices that the same person keeps showing up in the crowds. It soon develops that a group of futuristic "tourists" have signed on with an organization called Thrill Seekers, which whisks its customers to historical tragedies so that they can experience the thrill of being eyewitnesses. Much to his horror, Tom finds out that these time-traveling tourists have shown up in his own town, preparing to watch a cataclysmic disaster that has not yet transpired -- one that, unless prevented, will claim the lives of Tom's ex-wife and son. Originally telecast as The Time Shifters by TBS on October 17, 1999, this made-for-cable feature has since been released to video as Thrill Seekers. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Stevan M.

This was a very good movie. It has the same premise as "Disaster in Time" and both "Disaster in Time" and "Thrill Seekers" do a very good job of handling this premise. The story was well paced and well written.

Not a thrill movie. Good idea, bad acting.

GERLYN M.

This was an entertaining movie with a unique twist on time travel. An early appearance by Catherine Bell shows her appeal as an actor. Van Dien still tries to downplay his handsome face with a grimy-looking beardlet a la Indiana Jones. He can't act, but you've got to give him credit for trying hard to do so. His movies are always clean and family-oriented, so he's nice to watch.
