About the Movie

Timecop is a 1994 science fiction thriller film directed by Peter Hyams, and based on the Dark Horse comic book series of the same name.

The film stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, Ron Silver, Bruce McGill and Mia Sara. It is set in the future (actually 2004) where time travel is possible. Van Damme plays a Time Enforcement Agent, part of a specialized police organization. He is conflicted, because he knows it is possible to prevent his wife's death, but his job as a Time Enforcement Agent prevents him from acting on such a prevention.

Timecop remains Van Damme's highest grossing film (breaking the $100,000,000 barrier for a worldwide gross). It was also regarded as one of Van Damme's better films by critics who usually derided his acting ability.

The film, which was originally based on a comic, spun off into a short-lived television series named Timecop which ran for nine episodes in 1997 on ABC. It starred T.W. King as Jack Logan and Cristi Conaway as Claire Hemmings.

In 2003, a Direct-to-DVD sequel was released titled Timecop 2: The Berlin Decision starring Jason Scott Lee, Thomas Ian Griffith, and directed by Steve Boyum.

A game based on the movie was released on the SNES in 1995.

A series of tie-in novels was published from 1997-1999, by author Dan Parkinson, featuring the Jack Logan character from the television series. (Source: Wikipedia)
