The world is in ruins in the aftermath of a nuclear war. A team of scientists realise that the only way to save humanity from extinction is to send someone into the past or the future to ask for help. After a number of failed experiments, the scientists find one man, whose strong recollection of a childhood experience at Orly Airport makes him the ideal subject.
