The Butterfly Effect Collection

The Butterfly Effect movies are about an individual who travels through time, and then has to deal with unexpected consequences. The title refers to the butterfly effect, a popular hypothetical example of chaos theory which illustrates how small initial differences may lead to large unforeseen consequences over time.
