About Minutemen
Three high school friends stumble on a makeshift time machine and decide to use it to wipe away embarrassing mishaps before they happen. Virgil Fox is the brainy planner, Zeke Thompson is the quick-witted sidekick, and Charlie Tuttle keeps things practical. They test the device hoping to spare their peers the cringe of second chances, but every alteration to the past twists the present in unexpected ways. A string of swapped moments pulls in teachers, rivals, and even a crush, turning ordinary days into chaotic mayhem and leaving them scrambling to tidy the mess they created. As friendships, projects, and loyalties hang in the balance, the trio learns that fixing one moment can ripple through the whole group. The movie blends goofy gags with family friendly sci fi and a warm heart. It stays accessible for all ages.
