Doctor Who: An Unearthly Child (TV)
1963 · Movie · 95 min. · United Kingdom
The adventure that started the show. Two schoolteachers decide to follow a strange pupil, Susan, home one night. "Home” turns out to be a time machine - the TARDIS - whose outer appearance of a battered blue police box leads to a immense futuristic interior. Susan and her grandfather, the Doctor, are really alien wanderers in time and space. To prevent them from revealing that, the Doctor makes his machine leave to the era of the caveman. Captured by natives, the four must escape back to the TARDIS before they are sacrificed by a tribe trying to regain the secret of making fire.
