Time loop Mystery Movie
Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to find this for years and it’s driving me crazy.
I watched it when I was really young (early 2000s), and I’m pretty sure it was either a short film, TV episode, or something similar—not a full mainstream movie.
Here’s what I remember:
- A white American man wakes up in the morning and feels an urgent need to go somewhere
- He is stuck in a time loop—every time he fails, the day resets back to him waking up
- His goal is to save a blind Black woman
- The woman is trying to cross a street/crosswalk, and she gets hit by a car if he doesn’t reach her in time
Details that really stood out:
- His car is blocked or clamped, so he’s forced to run
- He runs through the city (felt like a New York-style setting)
- At some point he cuts through a park
- He even gets chased by a dog while trying to reach her
- He fails multiple times before (possibly) succeeding
Other notes:
- It felt American (actors and setting)
- Probably late 90s to early 2000s
- Could have been part of a TV anthology or a short shown on cable
I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find anything that matches this exact plot.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
