The Langoliers

Main Ideas

• Time travel and its consequences: the characters find themselves in the past, where time has stopped and the world is slowly falling apart.
• The concept of the Langoliers: creatures that consume the past to make way for the future.
• Isolation and survival: a group of people in an unusual situation must unite to survive and find a solution.
• Psychological tension and fear of the unknown: characters confront their own fears and inner demons.
• The inevitability of time: the past cannot be changed or reclaimed, and its destruction is part of the natural flow of time.
