Directed by Steve Pink, the sci-fi comedyHot Tub Time Machine will be available on Prime Video from November 1, 2025. Released in theaters in 2010, the film stars John Cusack, Clark Duke, and Craig Robinson in a wild adventure combining nostalgia for the 1980s and absurd humor.
Written by John Morris and Josh Heald, the film is a typical 2010s buddy comedy, driven by offbeat dialogue and a time-travel concept that is as far-fetched as it is irresistible.
After a night of heavy drinking, a group of friends disappointed with life find themselves transported back to 1986 thanks to a malfunctioning hot tub. Thrown back into their teenage years, they try to relive their best years while avoiding disrupting the course of time. Between absurd situations, retro references, and existential crises, the group discovers that the past isn't necessarily simpler than the present.
The Time Machine skillfully plays on the contrast between generations and the regret of lost time. Through its unbridled humor, the film pays homage to teen movies and 1980s pop culture, while subverting the conventions of time travel.
