A scientist describes his idea to a few friends: three-dimensional space is not enough; there should be a fourth dimension, which is time. Next, the scientist shows them a model of a time machine and a real one, claiming it will make time travel possible and that he plans to personally test it. He starts the machine and travels to the future. He arrives in a strange world and sees future people who are short, unintelligent, live a simple life, lack strength and wisdom, and have very little difference in appearance between men and women. Everyone does not work; their daily activities consist of eating, playing, and sleeping. By chance, the scientist rescues a woman named Vina from deep water, and the two become companions. The scientist also discovers caves where a machine emits sounds and humans who live underground and only come out at night, resembling white apes. From this, he guesses that the people on the surface (Eloi) are in a dominant position, while the people underground (Morlocks) are ordinary workers who must live with machines to serve the rich people on the surface. The scientist ventures into a dark cave and finds a large house filled with blood, nearly being captured by the Morlocks. He enters a green building—a museum—filled with rocks and minerals dug from the Earth's interior. On his way back to the forest from the green building, he is tracked by the Morlocks. After a fierce battle, he finally defeats them but loses Vina in the process. The scientist decides to make one last attempt to let the Eloi save themselves, but it fails. Disappointed, the scientist walks to the base of a statue and recovers the time machine. He continues forward into the future, arriving in the ice age 30 million years later, where the terror of death is overwhelming. On his return journey, he stops in the country of Attock. The country has already reached the most advanced stage of human history. The time machine is destroyed by the Attockians, leaving the scientist with no choice but to help them build a new one. The scientist returns home in the time machine, still grieving over the bleak future he witnessed. He shares his experiences with friends and the media, but no one believes him. In the end, the scientist takes his time machine into the future again, and he is never seen again.
