La jetée
While at the Orly pier, a boy sees a man shot. Shortly afterwards World War III breaks out and
Paris is destroyed by nuclear war. As one of the survivors, the now grown man is chosen as part of an
experiment in time travel because he has a strong grasp on a moment in the past - the image of the
man being shot at the airport. He is successfully sent back in time. But there he falls in love with a
girl and defies orders so that he can return and be with her.
