UKeuanu Rivz kunye ne-Alex ubusika bagcina isithembiso sakhe kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo kwaye basisusa isahlulo sesithathu sokufika kwe-ted Logan (i-kenuanu Reeves) kunye ne-Preston (saseAlex). Isibakala sokuba baqalise ukucinga malunga nembono yale filimu, abadlali baxela enye kwiminyaka eli-10 eyadlulayo. Kwaye iinxalenye ezimbini zokuqala "ukufika okungathethekiyo koMthetho oYilwayo kunye noTed" kunye "ne-Adventures entsha yoMthetho oYilwayo kunye noTed" - abaphulaphuli babona ngo-1989 nango-1991.
Kwiifilimu zokuqala, enkosi kwi-fan yekamva, amagorha ayakufumana ixesha labo. Ebavumela ukuba baqhelane nobuntu obubalaseleyo bexesha elahlukileyo kwaye bagcine indalo.
Ifilimu yesithathu kwibali elibhengeziweyo iya kuxela ngosindiso lwendalo iphela. Indwendwe elivela kwikamva (i-Kristen Shaal) Iingxelo zamagorha ukuba kuphela zinokwenza ingoma eyandisa umhlaba. Ukusebenza kwingoma i-ted kwaye i-bill iya kunceda intombi yabadlali (uSamara Bive kunye ne-Brigit Bati-Payne) kunye nobuntu obahlukeneyo bembali.
Kuzo zonke iifilimu zefilimu, i-heroes ihamba ngexesha kwifowuni yefowuni ye-60s. Ekuqaleni komsebenzi kumfanekiso wokuqala kwiskripthi, umatshini wexesha wawubonakala ngathi yimoto. Kodwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku umsebenzi uye wahamba, izikrini zaphuma "zibuyele kwikamva". Izinto ezifanayo, iincwadi zeempendulo zitshintsha uhlobo lwamatshini wexesha. Kodwa ayingcono. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, abaphulaphuli bayazi ukuba i-boel yefowuni evela kuma-60s, apho ungahamba ngexesha kwaye ugcine indalo, ibizwa ngokuba yi-TARDIS. Nangona kunjalo, oku kwenzeke akuchaphazeli ukuthandwa kwe-ted kunye nebhili.
