Overview
"A Sound of Thunder" is a 2005 American science fiction thriller movie directed by Peter Hyams, based upon the short story of the very same name by Ray Bradbury. The movie's primary stars include Edward Burns as Travis Ryer, Catherine McCormack as Sonia Rand, Ben Kingsley as Charles Hatton, and Jemima Rooper as Jenny Krase.

Plot
The film is set in 2055 Chicago where a business named Time Safari Inc. uses wealthy travelers an opportunity to travel back in time and hunt dinosaurs. Charles Hatton, the owner of Time Safari, has actually employed innovator Sonia Rand to produce a maker that can take them 65 million years back. Nevertheless, rigorous policies remain in place to prevent changes in the past that might considerably alter the timeline.

When Travis Ryer, a seasoned safari guide, accompanies a customer on a late Triassic searching expedition, an unanticipated event causes them to revive a dinosaur's footprint to the present time. As the "butterfly impact" begins, the change in the original timeline triggers a series of time waves to alter the present progressively. Cities crumble into a jungle filled with prehistoric plants and deadly dinosaur-like creatures called "allosaurs".

Dispute and Resolution
In an effort to reset the timeline, Sonia wants to obtain her program's initial copy, which is in the Time Safari's vault. However, the vault is located in a district currently impacted by the time wave and lived in by deadly animals. In addition to a group of researchers and engineers, Travis ventures into the harmful cityscape to attempt and stop the gradually worsening time waves. They experience a series of obstacles along the way, consisting of facing off against highly evolved creatures and surviving the ever-changing environment.

During this treacherous journey, it is exposed that Hatton tampered with Sonia's time maker to multiply the earnings of Time Safari Inc., triggering the journey to fail. The climax comes when Travis successfully retrieves the program's initial discs and re-installs them, therefore resynchronising the time stream.

Conclusion
"A Sound of Thunder" presents a terrifying consequence of manipulating time for individual gain. It works as a cautionary tale about the risks of toying with nature, amplified by the irresponsibility of exploiting this power for revenue. The catastrophic occasions that emerge from a single, obviously minor change in the previous make audiences consider extensive questions about evolution, survival, and the sanctity of time. The motion picture ends with the pledge of a revised timeline where the events have probably unfolded without Hatton's interference. The audience are entrusted the vision of the characters unknowing of the trials they have actually just undergone, offering a thought-provoking conclusion to the story.
