The 2002 film "Time Changer" is a religious science-fiction film about a time traveller who travels from the year 1890 to an unspecified year near 2001. The time traveller is a deeply religious and conservative professor at a Bible college and and is shocked by the things he sees in the future. The professor brings with him some US gold coins and exchanges a US Liberty Head five dollar gold coin for some local money. Later a pile of currency with a couple of coins is left on a table.

Prof. Russell Carlisle (D. David Morin) has just written a book and needs the approval of a committee to publish the book. Prof. Norris Anderson (Gavin MacLeod) objects to some of the theology in the book and an argument ensues. Later Anderson contacts Carlisle and asks him to visit him. Anderson takes Carlisle to a large room and shows him a machine.

Anderson claims that he has built a time travel machine and also claims to have taken a trip to the early 21st century. Anderson wants to show Carlisle that people in the future are less religious than in 1890. Carlisle doesn't believe in time travel but Anderson starts the machine.

Anderson tells Carlisle that he will return in four days and gives him a purse with some gold coins. He tells Carlisle that the prices for things in the future are unbelievable.

Carlisle lands in an alley and starts walking around.

He is amazed by the buildings and frightened by the vehicles. He finds a newspaper and looks at it.

He reads the date aloud as October 21, two-thousand and something. He then heads to a pawn shop to sell a coin.

The pawn broker examines the coin.

The broker tells him that the coin looks new and then looks at the other side.

The reverse is not shown clearly.

The broker writes out a price and shows the amount to Carlisle. Carlisle first implies that the price is too low but then thanks the broker for being a "Christian gentleman." Anderson had met a woman on his time trip and suggested that Carlisle talk to her. Carlisle visits the lady, Michelle Bain (Jennifer O'Neill), a librarian, and talks to her.

They find that they share the same religious beliefs and she complains about the modern society that she lives in. Carlisle visits a church but does not like their emphasis on "activities" like trips to movie houses. He does see a movie but is upset at some of the language in the film. He takes his complaint to the theater staff.

It is near time for Carlisle to travel back to 1890 and he checks out of his hotel, leaving some bills and coins as a tip for the bellboy.

The coins appear to be a quarter (25 cents) and a nickel (5 cents). Carlisle heads for the alley and is questioned by two policemen when the machine activates.

Carlisle apologizes to Anderson for disbelieving his complaints about the future and rewrites his manuscript which he hands out at a meeting.

Prof. Anderson then tries another experiment.

He takes a large old Bible and attempts to send it further into the future to the year 2090 but finds that he can't. He tries to send it to 2080, 2070 and fails also.
