57 Seconds

Franklin, a dedicated tech blogger, tirelessly works for months to secure an interview with his tech idol, Anton Burrell. His ambition leads him to take a low-wage job at Anton's company solely to gain insider access to his groundbreaking innovations.

To further his chances, Franklin enlists the help of his friend Andy, who manages to pilfer an access badge from his boss. Armed with the stolen badge, Franklin sneaks behind the scenes during a major presentation, illustrating the lengths he is willing to go for the interview.

During the presentation, Anton reveals his revolutionary device, 'Tri-Band 5,' designed to enhance health without the need for pills or traditional medications. As he passionately describes its potential, an imminent threat emerges when an enraged audience member storms the stage with a gun.

In a split-second decision, Franklin pushes the assailant away to save Anton's life. This act of bravery earns him the gratitude of Anton, who promises to grant him the coveted interview he has long sought.

After the presentation, Franklin discovers Anton's ring on the floor and picks it up, unexpectedly transporting himself 57 seconds back in time. This strange occurrence introduces the concept of time travel into Franklin's life, setting off a chain of events.

The movie introduces Sig, a rival from a pharmaceutical giant, who fears Anton's device could threaten his business. Sig plots to gather evidence against Anton, suspecting foul play behind the events surrounding the presentation.

Franklin begins to exploit the power of the ring, using it to repeatedly travel back in time for personal gain, including engaging in an affair and winning money at the casino. However, his exploits lead to trouble when casino security confronts him.

Franklin harbors a deep-seated resentment towards Sig due to the tragic death of his twin sister, Natalie, who became addicted to a painkiller produced by Sig's company. This personal vendetta propels Franklin's desire to expose the harmful effects of Zonastin.

Finally, Franklin gets the opportunity to interview Anton, who expresses gratitude for Franklin's heroism. Anton reveals his ambitions to enhance tri-bands, aiming to integrate a remarkable substance discovered during research to prevent physical injuries.

Franklin decides to confront Sig, leading to an unexpected offer to become the spokesperson for Sig's company. During this encounter, tensions escalate when Franklin violently rejects the proposal, indicating the depth of his disdain for Sig.

Using the ring's powers, Franklin cleverly gains Sig's trust by predicting future events. This strategic maneuver is part of his grand plan to infiltrate Sig's company and uncover evidence regarding the harmful effects of Zonastin.

During an event at Sig's home, Franklin saves Sig from an assassination attempt. The attacker turns out to be the husband of a deceased employee, linking back to the shady dealings of Sig's company and prompting Franklin to dig deeper into the mystery.

With the help of his friend Andy, Franklin exposes a trove of incriminating evidence linking Sig to the murder of Susan Miller. The revelations shine a light on the corrupt practices Sig had used to manipulate and control his employees.

In a desperate attempt to flee from the consequences of his actions, Sig kidnaps Franklin, leading to a confrontation that ends with a plane crash. Franklin survives, but not without deep emotional conflict about his quest for vengeance.

Faced with an offer to join Anton in his research, Franklin ultimately rejects it, symbolizing his refusal to become a pawn in another potentially dangerous power game. Instead, he breaks Anton's ring, indicating a desire to put an end to the cycle of manipulation.
