Beginning of the 1978 version

Doesn't this version start out with a missile going off course and the builder of the Time Machine comes in and after surveying the situation, has the room cleared because of the added heat level, and then succeeds in destroying the missile before it crashes in a bad place. At least they had Whit Bissell appear again. The cast of the 1960 version has a very special appeal that's very hard to duplicate. from the Sabre jet builder
