Based on Richard Matheson's 1975 novel Bid Time Return (a title the author later admitted to disliking), Somewhere in Time is the story of Richard Collier (played by Superman star Christopher Reeve). In 1972, the young playwright is given a pocket watch by an elderly woman who whispers, "Come back to me". Years later, staying at the historic Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, he becomes captivated by a photograph of a stunning early 20th-century stage actress named Elise McKenna (Jane Seymour). Through self-hypnosis and sheer willpower, Collier wills himself back to 1912 to find her, setting the stage for a sweeping romance across time.
However, when the film began broadcasting on cable television networks like HBO in the early 1980s, an organic phenomenon occurred. Millions of viewers fell in love with its bittersweet romance. The movie spawned an official fan club called INSITE (The International Network of Somewhere In Time Enthusiasts). For decades, INSITE members have gathered annually at the Grand Hotel, dressing in Edwardian attire to screen the film, discuss its lore, and celebrate its creators.
