Time Trap is a 2017 science fiction action adventure film, directed by Ben Foster and Mark Dennis.

Starring Brianne Howey, Cassidy Gifford, Olivia Draguicevich, Reiley McClendon, and Andrew Wilson, it tells the story of a group of students in a remote area of Texas searching for their missing professor.

While exploring the cave, the group experience a series of bizarre and dangerous events related to time and space distortion.

After discovering what appears to be a cowboy paused in place in a tunnel, he returns to town and dismisses his graduate students, Taylor and Jackie, stating that their research is done.

When Furby does not answer their radio calls, Jackie tries to climb back out, but the rope frays, and she falls, injuring herself and Taylor.

Returning to the cave, comparing video recordings, Cara has experienced about 30 minutes on the surface while she had been gone at most a few seconds from their viewpoint, confirming Taylor's theory.

Hearing more howling, Cara prepares to climb out again for help but is interrupted by a futuristic 8-foot-tall humanoid spaceman descending via a retractable ladder.

Preparing to leave the cave with the spaceman's ladder, the students are attacked by cavemen before they can get through; Cara is pulled through the portal by future humans before she can help her friends.
