Escape from the 21st Century with trailer for time-travelling comedy adventure

January 27, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

Signature Entertainment has released a poster and trailer for writer-director Yang Li’s sci-fi adventure Escape from the 21st Century.

The film centres on three friends who discover they can transport through time from 1999 to 2019 with a sneeze, where they discover a plot to destroy the Earth and use their new-found time-travelling ability to try and prevent it.

The cast includes Ruoyun Zhang, Elane Zhong, Yang Song, Xiaoling Wu, and Yanmanzi Zhu. Check out the trailer below…

“This time-and-mind-bending sci-fi adventure will hear you roaring with laughter one minute, and your jaw dropping open the next. What if a sneeze could transport your 18-year-old soul into your 20-years-older self? What if, by chance, this led to saving the world? Three middle-aged individuals with the soul of 18-year-old high school students embark on a world-altering journey 20 years into the future, creating a bizarre, entertaining and heartwarming adventure story.”

Escape from the 21st Century arrives on digital on February 24th.
