When a scientist's son is zapped by a device that makes it seem like the world is frozen in time, he must find a way to reverse the effects.

Director Jonathan Frakes (Star TrekTM: Insurrection, Star TrekTM: First Contact) deftly mixes laughs with thrills in the sci-fi adventure film Clockstoppers. Zak Gibbs (Jesse Bradford, Hackers) is an ordinary teenager who suddenly obtains extraordinary powers when he stumbles upon a mysterious wristwatch-type device that can literally stop time in its tracks! To Zak, it's the perfect gadget to impress Francesca (Paula Garces, Dangerous Minds), the beautiful new foreign exchange student at school. But to those more passionately familar with the incredible timepiece - a hapless scientist (French Stewart, 3rd Rock from the Sun) and his sinister boss (Michael Biehn, The Terminator) - the ultimate power of the entire world literally lies in the hands of whomever possesses the amazing apparatus. They want it back - at any cost - and that's when Zak and Francesca find themselves unwittingly swept into a thrilling, high-tech race against time!

In the late '60s it would have been hard to find a rock star who didn't have Suzette (Goldie Hawn) or Vinnie (Susan Sarandon) on his arm … or attached to his leg. But it's been more than two decades since The Banger Sisters earned their nickname, or even laid eyes on one another. Then when Suzette's world comes crashing down, she sets off in search of the one friend who might be able to rescue her, or at least give her a few thousand bucks. The reunion of The Banger Sisters is the collision of two women's worlds: one who's living in the past; one who's hiding from it. Together they learn the value of living in the moment. Academy Award®-winners Hawn (Cactus Flower) and Sarandon (Dead Man Walking) bring The Banger Sisters to life, with the help of Academy Award®-winner Geoffrey Rush (Shine), who plays Suzette's eccentric travel partner.

A teenager accidentally activates a machine that enables him to speed up his body so that other people seem to be standing still.
