If you had the chance to go back in time and change an event in your life, would you? This is the main question explored in the 2004 film, The Butterfly Effect. Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher) discovers that he can travel through time to prevent himself from experiencing blackouts and memory loss, which affected him as a child. In an attempt to change his life and his friends' lives for the better, Evan significantly changes the path of their lives and alters their reality, which has negative consequences. Messing with time can have some unintended consequences, as Evan is quick to learn.
