In a futurist state-controlled society, a theoretical physicist is imprisioned for intellectual crimes. From the series revival, this is one of six episodes written by Chitlik and Finch. Like the original, this revival of the popular long-running series centered around paranoia, uncertainty and bizarre events, often with a wicked sense of humor and an unexpected twist. Series creator Rod Serling called The Twilight Zone, "a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man... a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It lies between the pit of man's fears, and the summit of his knowledge".
