In a future where time is money and the wealthy can live forever, Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) is a poor man who rarely has more than a day's worth of life on his time clock. When he saves Henry Hamilton (Matt Bomer) from time thieves, Will receives the gift of a century. However, such a large transaction attracts the attention of the authorities, and when Will is falsely accused of murder, he must go on the run, taking the daughter (Amanda Seyfried) of an incredibly wealthy man with him.

Critics Consensus

In Time's intriguing premise and appealing cast are easily overpowered by the blunt, heavy-handed storytelling.

The film's central metaphor is so sublimely obvious it feels like it's been stolen from a forgotten Star Trek script. Go to Full Review Anna Smith metro.co.uk 08/24/2018

Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried lurch from car chases to shoot-outs, to a bloodless romantic interlude, while the script runs out of ideas around them, and eventually settles for a lazy Bonnie and Clyde-inspired final act. Go to Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine 09/26/2023

There is Hollywood-style action, entertainment, the beauty of Amanda Seyfried as the rebellious daughter of the millionaire villain... and the charisma of Justin Timberlake. Beyond that, not much more. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 09/04/2023

The high concept science-fiction played out in "In Time" is as uniquely original, stylish, challenging, and enthralling as it is preposterous. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Danni T @Averageviewer Feb 24 The overall concept of the film is interesting as time is literally money. A bit different from other dystopian sci-fi films as there is no apocalypse, no main tyrant (apart from the system itself), and more of a minimalist vibe compared to the other flashy futuristic sci-fi films present today. I love the idea and emotion present throughout the film makes you think about the links to our society. See more Edward E @Trustmee Jan 7 I dont care what the reviews say, this movie is one of my favorites. Original concept, excellant acting, Cillian Murphy, Justin Timberlake...can't miss. When I run out of things to watch this is a go to. Trust me. See more Rob V. @rvertullo Jan 5 Interesting concept. Not that bad of a movie. See more Bill S. @will25 Jan 3 I simply can’t understand Rotten Tomatoes subpar review. This movie has a lot more meaning than simply time being used for currency. I think the movie is terrific.
