Synopsis

When 15 year old Tim Edge and his two mates, Vic and Alf bunk off from a school trip at the Natural History Museum they encounter a mad female scientist Lena and her latest invention called The Vitalitron.
The machine is capable of predicting the time of death of any living creature, and when Tim decides to sneak inside for a reading, it predicts he has only 2 hours left to live. Tim and his two friends then run amok across London as he attempts to cram a lifetime into 2 hours, pursued by tabloid journalists Tooley and Graves who are desperate for the story to save their ailing careers, and Lena who wants to make sure Tim dies on time whether the machine is right or not.
