Director Jonathan Frakes ...
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!

Play4film's point of view:
“Clockstoppers” is a science fiction film for all the family which plays with certain subjects already at the base of “Back to the Future”. Young Zac, who is in love with his classmate Francesca, discovers amongst his inventor father’s things a watch which is able to stop time, but the invention also interests some shady characters. Entertaining and adolescent, this film has its own charm which is linked to its Eighties atmosphere although it was made in 2002. The director was one of the characters in the “Star Wars” series.
