This ninety-minute made-for-TV movie was the brainchild of Irwin Allen (the man responsible for Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, etc.). It aired on ABC on Friday, March 19th, 1976. Sam Groom and Tom Hallick starred as scientists sent back in time to find the cure for a deadly disease. Time Travelers was included as an extra on the Season One, Volume 2 DVD release of another Irwin Allen series, The Time Tunnel.
