Thunderstone – Episode Three (1999)
Synopsis
Fifteen-year-old Noah (Jeffrey Walker) is from the futuristic underground community of North Col. Attempting to time travel to the past, he is trapped in a desert, where he is captured by the Nomads, a group of children led by Arushka (Mereoni Vuki). They are hiding from the evil warlord Tao (Stuart Halusz) who is hunting for slaves for his Thunderstone mines. In the underground tunnels, Noah sees something familiar and realises this is the ruin of his home North Col. He has been wrong – he is not in the past but in the future! He is devastated. What happened to everyone, to his family?
