Time Trax is a science fiction television series that first aired in 1993.[1][3][4] A police officer, sent two centuries into the past to a parallel universe, must apprehend and return convicted criminals who have escaped prison in the future.[5] This was the last new production from Lorimar Television.
Time Trax was created by veteran Hollywood producers Harve Bennett, Jeffrey M. Hayes and Grant Rosenberg. Rosenberg came up with the original idea, which Bennett and Hayes helped craft into the final premise.[6]
It was one of the first three original programming of the Prime Time Entertainment Network, alongside Kung Fu: The Legend Continues and Babylon 5, and it ran between January 20, 1993, and December 3, 1994. Despite being well received by viewers, the network cancelled the series because they wanted to go in a different direction to increase their viewer base.[6]
Despite its Washington, D.C., setting, the series was shot in Queensland, Australia, near the Warner/Roadshow Studios.[6] It was the last series to premiere under the Lorimar Productions name.[citation needed]
In the year 2193, over a hundred criminals become fugitives of law enforcement by traveling back in time two hundred years to a parallel Universe, using a time machine called Trax. Darien Lambert is a police detective of that period who is sent back to 1993 in order to apprehend as many of the fugitives as possible.[7] He is assisted by the Specified Encapsulated Limitless Memory Archive, or SELMA, an extremely small but very powerful computer (described as equivalent to a mainframe) disguised for the mission as a credit card; SELMA communicates through a holographic interface which takes the visual form of a woman. Lambert is also equipped with a Micro-Pellet Projection Tube disguised as a keyless car alarm remote, which can stun targets or engulf them in an energy field, rendering them transportable to the future. This process, executed by SELMA, incorporates a transmission sequence to send the criminal on his way. Dr. Mordecai Sahmbi, who was responsible for sending the fugitives to 1993, tries several times to kill Lambert.
Captain Lambert, fearing the possible consequences of altering the timeline, does not actively attempt to interfere with the natural flow of history, although he frequently leaves messages for his colleagues in 2193 (via the personals sections of assorted newspapers).
Time Trax was released on DVD on October 9, 2012, Warner Bros. released the complete first season on DVD in Region 1 via the Warner Archive Collection burn on demand service.[9] The second and final season was released the following year on July 9, 2013.[10]
A video game for the Super NES console based on the series was released on the U.S. market by Malibu Games in April 1994[11] (although some sources list December 1993). A Sega Genesis version was also developed and completed, and was reviewed in major gaming publications,[12][13] but it was never released by the publisher. A prototype of the Mega Drive/Genesis version in fully finished state was leaked in 2013.[14] The Genesis version's most notable difference is its soundtrack being composed by Tim Follin.[15][16][17]
