- 12:01 PM is a 1990 short film starring Kurtwood Smith. Directed by Jonathan Heap, it originally aired on cable television in 1990 as part of the Showtime 30-Minute Movie anthology series. It was nominated for an Academy Award.
Did you work on this film? Let us know in the comments. Fans would love to hear from you.
Thankyou everyone for your praise. It's still my favorite film I ever made. Jonathan Heap
Thank YOU, Jonathan! It's been constantly in my mind since I saw it the first time over 25 years ago!
I used to have this movie along with session man and birch street gym as the Showtime 30 minute movies and Jim Carrey Unnatural Act and The Doors Movie when I was a kid and I'm so glad I can find it on here! You made a great film!
If I may ask, what was the original intended venue for this short? Festivals and such, or were you shooting for something like the revived Twilight Zone, something along those lines?
Thank you for this wonderful short movie... Also, i am here after watching the Netflix series "russian doll" which is based exactly on this storyline of time loop....
The feature is 3 times as good though. The movie is really great.
this is true horror, scarier than any monster you can imagine
yeah, its just traumatizing
many things can be done in an hour
@@tiopappo But they would never matter, that's the whole point.
I love that after over 40 times he relapsed he still stayed polite.
I saw this in 1990. Has been looking for it ever since. Thanks for uploading it!
Me too, just found it.
Jesus. I had a vague memory of watching this as a kid and getting bad anxiety over it, glad i'm not the only one judging from this comment section lol
A Brilliant Short Film, I first watched it Back in the 1990’s . . & it’s still as good today as it was back then, I Love Stuff Like That, thought provoking with endless possibilities. . . Thanks for uploading 👍🏻
I remember watching this when I was a kid. It was crazy and sad seeing him go mad. Then a glimmer of hope in meeting the Dr. who knew what it was, turned into horror. No hope for him even in death.
This is one of my all time favorite short films. I remember seeing in when it premiered on Showtime. It's still stands up after 30+ years.
I remember being blown away by this film age 15 in 1990. Thanks for the upload!
I'm a little late with my comment, but I was living in france in the 90's and saw this on TV there, not dubbed. Like BoltNeck wrote: "That 70s Show" always made me think of this movie when ever the Red Foreman character was on." DItto! It was a masterpiece. Thank you for putting it up here! It certainly deserved an Oscar! Thank you Jonathan Heap for this gem!
What a sad existence to repeat a remnant of time infinitely and be conscious about it.
I recall been a young teenager in the 90s in the UK and this was shown on short story cinema. Great episode also the shadow man and the jogger I recall.
CraigRattleHead Do you remember the one about the killer in reflections that kept getting closer?
My first time to see this, and Kurtwood Smith is absolutely believable in the lead role. Great find, and thanks for uploading this!!
omg i have looked for this forever
thank you
I've, owned this movie on vhs since it's first airing unbelievably great story & acting myran castleman big wig from glandring & glandring ! Bitch
I saw this when I was younger…. Just shared it with my son. He briefly met Kurtwood Smith in NYC. Kurtwood is an excellent actor… I have remembered this for all these years…
My wife and I saw this at the Sundance Film Festival when it first came out. The collective groan for the final scene is a feeling I'll never forget. Fantastic film!
The irony is: He says he's the only one who can change anything but in fact, he can't! All his changes are also only temporary and will last for at most an hour. The only difference is that he's the only one who knows that these changes ever happened but effectively, he changed nothing. He is caught in a repeating loop like everyone else is, but only for him this loop is a problem as he's the only one being aware of it. This also shows another important fact: Some problems are only problems once you are aware of them, as long as you didn't know about it, they didn't bother you either. That's the meaning of "Ignorance is bliss".
He is trapped in hell, because at some point he will have done everything he can do in one hour, but it will still repeat itself.
My goodness! How did I miss this masterpiece! I have watched several loop movies for hours and hours to get to know 'the damn' thing. This is simple, short and straight. Thank you Mr Jonathan. Lots of love.
I remember seeing this in the 90's as a kid and it's stuck with me enough all these years that i'm still suggesting it to friends.
Incredible to be able watch this--thank you so much for uploading it.
Some of the commenters have noted strong similarities between 12:01 and Groundhog Day. In fact, Jonathan Heap (director) and Richard Lupoff (writer) considered Groundhog Day an act of plagiarism and attempted to take action, but found that they had neither the resources nor the allies for a successful lawsuit.
Also, a couple odd bits of trivia. Two of the most notable time-loop movies starred cast members of That 70s Show: Kurtwood Smith (here) and Ashton Kutcher (Butterfly Effect). Kurtwood Smith also played a time-manipulating starship captain in Star Trek: Voyager--a nod, no doubt, to his role in 12:01.
And later Happy death Day comes out. XD
The time loop concept predates both Groundhog day and 12:01.
"Strong similarities"? They're the same exact film! Even within the time loop subgenre, the movies are uncannily alike. (The deja vu of watching both is very much in keeping with the time loop theme!)
There was an earlier movie made in USSR in 1987, Mirror for a Hero, that was describing a timeloop: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_for_a_Hero
Excuse me, but the book that was finally made into the short movie "12:01" came out in 1973 already! So at least Richard Lupoff's story was invented before 1987!
I remember seeing this wonderful movie when it appeared on TV. What a brilliant idea, done extremely well.
I watched this film when I was a child in the 90a, and think about it even today. So glad I found it on here.
VORW introduced me to this short film and now I freaking love it. Kurtwood Smith did really good as Myron.
This is absolute genius. Whoever wrote this deserves every award to ever exist.
Richard A. Lupoff wrote the short story this short film is based on. His story "12:01 PM" first appeared in the December 1973 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. He appeared in this film as an extra. My source is his page on the wiki.
actually i just read this:
Decades later, Lupoff returned to the story with two sequels, "12:02 P.M.", published in the January/February 2011 edition of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, and "12:03 P.M.", published in the September/October 2012 edition of the same magazine.
source again wikipedia, the article on the short story "12:01 PM"
OHHH man, I LOVED this when I saw it on Showtime in 1990. Had it videotaped and made sure to show it to friends. I am SO happy to find it here after just searching on a whim. Great stuff.
My favorite time loop film of all time! I wish it was hour an a half long!
I watched it when I was like 10 and I remember being traumatized, the sheer thought of being caught in this kind of loop was unbearble. To this day whenever I look at the time and it's 12:01 a part of me gets anxious it may have started.
Yes as a kid it was a haunting experience.
I remember watching this on Showtime in 1990. A masterpiece
Caught this on cable years ago when it first aired. Had no idea what it was about going and and was struck by the originality, writing, performances and presentation, like a (then) modern-day "Twilight Zone." Still holds up today as one of the most captivating half-hours ever on television.
Wonderful memories. 1990 I moved in to a new apartment. Only had a chair couch and tv. The cable was hooked up I sat down and this show was on showtime.
"WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHUT UP, YOU STUCK UP LITTLE BITCH!"
I think I saw this movie when I was 11 or 12 years old. It has stuck with me ever since. Simply amazing.
My favourite short film with an excellent performance from kurtwood Smith
I am fascinated by Kurtwood Smith and his ability to be so convincing as a villain (Robocop), mean/clueless dad (That 70's Show, Dead Poet's Society, The Crush), and this sort-of nebbish guy when all reports are that he is very down-to-earth and easy-going. BUT....
I am older than dust, but before Groundhog Day, et. al. was a 1961 episode of The Twilight Zone titled "Shadow Play" in which Dennis Weaver plays a man that is to be executed who repeatedly relives the day with the same people but they shift from character to character (cop, judge, priest). He tries to convince them not to execute him and [SPOILER ALERT, but hey, it's 58 years ago] doesn't quite succeed. I loved Groundhog Day, but "time-loop" wasn't invented in 1993....
I remember seeing this as a kid.
3 years before "Groundhog Day"... hmm... interesting.
someone saw it...:P
I love Groundhog Day but it has always reminded me of this short masterpiece.
The movie "12:01" also copies this idea. There is a time bounce in that movie also. It is 1 day that keeps repeating.
@@vshah1010 It is not a copy, only a new adaptation of the short story, partly created by the same people as this short film was.
The story is from 1973
At least the looped hour was his lunch break. Better than many alternatives.
At least he isn't 5 second Tom!
imagine if you had an hour of horrible constipation
@@williamrichter1113 Or diarrhoea! Not sure which is worse...
@@williamrichter1113 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fucking torture
Movie inspired groundhog day and falling down. Shout out to everyone who found this on the time loop movie wiki page.
HOW DID YOU KNOW!? I guess you came here from there as well.
damn you got me
how does it inspire falling down other than a middle aged man with a suitcase in a hot summer day? other one is obvious tho
'Falling Down' isn't a time loop story though...
How on earth did this inspire Falling Down? Falling Down is the story of a former US Deffense employee who slowly goes insane after being fed up with the world around him and the way people like him are treated in society, what does a man who constantly relives 1 hour of his life endlessly have to do with it? Just because he has a suitcase?
I saw this when I was younger it blew my mind! I think I was 10!
One of the most frightening and affecting films I have ever seen, in a good way.
12:01 along with Miracle Mile were the two scariest things from my childhood. Thank you for uploading this.
Am I the only one where this youtube video keeps looping over and over again automatically?
Whoever was in charge of the continuity on the cars going by nailed it.
So moral of the story is:
1.Eat before 12.
2.Don't cross the damn road around 12.
The good news is, Richard Lupoff (the writer of the original short story) wrote a sequel some years later where Myron finally manages to find a way to break the cycle and free himself.
Wow, really? First saw this in high school in the 90's and was both super impressed and depressed by it! Now I want to read the sequel really badly and get closure!
Sequel name?
Am I right that the sequel is the "12:02 P.M."? www.sfsite.com/fsf/blog/2011/01/10/interview-richard-a-lupoff-on-1202-p-m/
@@miroslavmares2499 please tell, where can I read it? I reappy want to read it even in online form or in a book.
Wow, I wish they had filmed the sequel!
Brilliant actor,what a masterpiece
I saw this movie as a kid..but till today it's stuck in my mind's..well done... I spontaneous remember it once in awhile and decided to search for it... Alot of of full length sci fi movies aren't half this good.🙌🏾🙌🏾
The only thing missing is a Rod Serling voice over when Myron opens his eyes and looks around the last time. Nice little flick.
This is great, never heard of it before today. Now I end up watching it... every day... at... around the same time...
I had no idea this existed. I grew up having taped the full length movie on tv, and was just completely shocked and blown away by the darker tone of this. So very interesting.
idk why but I love the stuck in time loop movies
never seen it, watching this after a recommendation, never expected that ending, still, feels like watching a Twilight episode but that doesn't mean that this is a great short
I too am one of the people who saw this late on tv in the 90s and couldn't remember what it was. I recently went through a whole load of Outer Limits and Twilight Zone episodes trying to find it. It popped up in my imdb suggestions today. Thank you for uploading!
This was awesome! like a twilight zone episode.
It is a dimension as vast space and as timeless as infinity. it is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies in the pit of man,s fears and the summit of knowledge, This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area in which we call... oo do do do na na na de de de
You unlock this door with the key imagination. beyond it is another dimension, a dimension of sound, a dimension sight, a dimension of mind. you,re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You,ve just crossed over into...
I had never heard of this until today, and even though I've seen and read variations of this time-loop concept over the past decades, this has got to be one of the best. Delving into the psychological ramifications of some fantastical or "magical" plot mechanism (and time travel is certainly way up there in terms of improbable) is often more interesting than the mechanism itself. It reminds me on one level of the short story by Larry Niven called "All The Myriad Ways".
Magnificent 👍
Thanx for sharing 🙏
Love from Sweden 💖
One of the best TV movies ever made.
Amazing that I find this on here, I saw this on cable (Showtime) when I was about 13-14 years old. This short pic just blew me away with the way it explored this crazy subject and kinda ruined Groundhog Day for me, slightly. I still gave that movie props because Bill Murray just knocked it outta the ballpark. This one, however, made me think and affected my mood a lot more than groundhog day.
Yeah, this is extremely dark. My personal hell would be pretty close to this.
Modestas Malakauskas I thought about it. If this were ever possible, which it's certainly not :), then your brain wouldn't be able to process all those memories that you've built up. Even though your body is not aging, your mind is still building up the memories, so you'd have the amount of memories of a 900-year-old eventually. I'm pretty sure after a point each hour would begin same way as the last: with your brain seizing up and you foaming at the mouth, unaware of anything that's happened the past 10,000 cycles.
***** Ah, but as the fellow found out in the film, "consciousness is an independent variable, outside the machinery of the universe." If he were storing memories in his brain, then the memories would clog up like an old hard drive. But the insinuation is that he's storing the memories outside his body somewhere in the aether. It's the old Holographic Mind theory.
+Dashoost When I saw Groundhog day I thought they must have seen this and decided to make a feature. But there's no mention of this short film inspiring that film.
+Modestas Malakauskas A bad hell indeed. My personal hell would be stuck playing the rhythm guitar part of "Sweet Home Alabama" forever, the song never ending, and the part just repeating itself over and over until I'd reach the point of absolute insanity, but being unable to stop playing it. The whole concept of a "personal hell" is beyond scary.
being stuck in a time loop for a day would be decent. But for an hour? Terrible!
I only have 3

Depends on your circumstances - a day in a concentration camp wouldn't be so good.
Been looking for this for a long time! I love it!
This was so good. Enjoyed every second of it!
This is a true horror movie.
Poor Mr. Castleman, doomed to repeat the same hour forever. If this short film had a sequel, Mr. Castleman would've gotten out of the time loop.
The author wrote a sequel called 12:02 PM

So many movies and shows from the past fail to live up to my memories of them. But this show is just as entertaining and chilling as the first time I saw this so long ago and I am so happy to see so many others feel the same.
I saw this in the early 90's on Finnish television. Made an impression.
I remember watching this on TV back in 1990 when I was just a kid. It was such an interesting concept. I hadn't seen anything like it before. There's only been a few other movies with a similar concept since then.
Fun Fact for all you kiddos watching, at 13:40, that was what was called "The Phonebook."
This movie is great, thanks for putting it up, haven't seen it in years.
I have this on repeat watch every hour...Help!
I was looking for this movie for many time. I though it was part of amazing stories of steven spielberg but i was wrong. I watched it when i was a child and i loved it. Thanks a lot. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Groundhog Day repeats the entire day. This, every one hour! Must be miserable
I remember seeing this decades ago and being so transported, so essentially broken by Myron’s plight. And then I couldn’t find it again. A few years later, Groundhog Day came out, and I was so mad that the time bounce had been cast as a source of comedy. For all the huzzah surrounding that movie, this tragedy is where my heart lies. So beautifully hopeless, strange, and terrifying.
ive read that the original groundhog day script was more serious, and the shift to a lighter tone led to a feud between Murray and Ramis.
Such a cheery intro, and then you proceed to watch the ultimate nightmare. :p
Well said
This movie has stuck with me all these years since I first saw it on Vanguard Theater I believe. I was 20 when this was made. "That 70s Show" always made me think of this movie when ever the Red Foreman character was on.
Was good to watch it again.
Thank you Uploader, i love things like this, the 90s had lots of decent stuff like this tales from the crypt freddys nightmares twilight zone, love this stuff!!
I was reminded of this little film, which I had seen on TV back in 1990 when it was first broadcast, after just watching an 8-episode series on Netflix called Russian Doll. Similar in that the main character keeps living the same day, only with a different perspective. Check it out.
Absolutely brilliant.
Beautiful.
OMG! I've been searching for this for so long. The ending still gets to you! Thanks for posting it. 😺
A great short film - so much better than the full length version which was average. Thanks for sharing :-)
Love this short and its remake and every time loop concept that came after.
Thanks for the upload
Love this ... I remember watching. It on the 30 minute movie. Thing back in... Was it 1990 or 91? Entertained scared... Me ...and I was a bit sad 💗💗👍👍🖖
Incredible idea...
Time is such a weird concept, the fact you can't go back or relive/change a single second of it, or visit the future is very sad - but also a blessing.
Stories like this are fascinating for all the 'what ifs'. Imagine if you woke one day and found it was a date 20 years previously, and you're living, working and interacting with all the people you knew back then (some dead) - but they have no idea you've come from and seen the future...
21:07 " I know you saw him on tv. What a weirdo" 😂Why is it funny when he mimicking Stephanie hahahah
This reminds me of my workplace, where the PA system radio is broken and loops the same songs every hour.
After he failed to kill Robocop, Clarence Bodicker got stuck in a time loop...🥺😔
my friend recommended this movie and i gotta say this is a nice one
I only learned about this while googling Richard Lupoff. One of the best science fiction films I've ever seen!
I seen it 30 years ago, incredible movie...
Its stuck with me all this time...
I remember watching this on The Movie Channel. Salute!
You might like Triangle, Repeaters. I saw this late on Ch4 in the 90s. Glad that I have found it again.
yeah that was a head fuck to. good film
Darkest time loop film I've seen, and I've seen several. I've always thought it was about dementia
I remember this from way back, but I forgot that it was just an hour he was reliving. I thought it was a whole day. I also didn't know about Kurtwood Smith back then, so I'm just now realizing it's him.
I looked for this, having seen it back in 1990, after just watching the 8 episode Netflix series titled Russian Doll. A similar story about repeating the same day, but with a different take. Check it out.
felt like watching it again
....and again,and again,and again.
The short film, inspired by the short story of the same name, that later inspired the feature-length TV movie 12:01 starring Jonathan Silverman & Helen Slater.
I have to say that, though the title is about as similar as you can get, and the "time bounce" wording used (with its idea of consciousness existing outside of time), Kurtwood Smith here plays Myron as a very different type of man than Barry is in 12:01. Both characters are played flawlessly, but I feel that Kurtwood really shows us just what a hell it could be to be stuck in just one hour.
Of course we'd all like to see how the time bounce happened, and how Myron got his consciousness jogged just enough to become a "separate variable" so only he's aware etc., but this is a short film don't forget; for more explanations, fleshed out ideas, and a happier resolution, got to the TVM, but for a glimpse at hell, stay here.
One time I caught this by accident on Channel 4 here in the UK. Read the premise in the listings and thought "It's just like Groundhog Day." Only this is 3 years older than that classic and a hell of a lot darker. And, as per usual his hell was caused by the military and scientists.
I mean is it, though? A scientist had a theory that something like what he was experiencing would happen, but we don't really get any information (Or, at least, I didn't pick up on any information) that would suggest scientists or the military caused the time loop.
The scientist predicted it - he didn't cause it!
Lol- there's an option to loop the video
Had a bad trip similar to this. I'm still not convinced it's over.
Salvia?
My guess to the ultimate fate of Myron Castleman (played by Kurtwood Smith): As evidenced by Castleman being able to remember the past repeats of the 59 minutes period, obviously Castleman's consciousness is not being "reset." Therefore, eventually Castleman's brain will effectively short-circuit from all the accumulated experiences of even an hour repeating endlessly. Castleman would then spend eternity in a vegetated state with no awareness of his surroundings. His body may still be alive, but if you've permanently lost your consciousness you're effectively dead.
@Stefano Pavone He wouldn’t really be suffering anymore though.
Could he buy some drugs and knock himself out/lose consciousness to take a break from the time loop?
That's a good idea. Tragic but maybe better than what is happening to him. Kind of like Brazil.
Jason Black brought me here🙌🏾👍🏾 after watching it I remember seeing this film back in the day.
Ahh, Clarence Boddicker. This is your punishment for all your evil deeds? Living the same hour over and over again, wearing the clothes of someone in a line of work you'd detest the most! Someone really should edit this together with the ending of RoboCop! xD
WolfySnackrib666 Nah this is how he got started hehehe
Hahaha. Then after billions of years when he's insane as fuck, time moved on again.
WolfySnackrib666
Suddenly he ended up in the Robocop universe :P
Love Kurtwood! Fantastic actor.
