A história é sobre uma "viagem no tempo", envolvendo um homem chamado Peter Jenson (William Bendix), que visita um psicanalista, o Dr. Gillespie (Martin Balsam), com queixas de um sonho recorrente no qual ele imagina acordar em Honolulu um pouco antes do ataque japonês a Pearl Harbor. Em 1958, a CBS comprou um roteiro para TV que Alfred Hitchcock esperava produzir como o piloto de uma série semanal. O Elemento do Tempo (The Time Element) marcou, portanto, a primeira investida de Rod Serling no campo da ficção científica e é considerado como o precursor da série Além da Imaginação ( The Twilight Zone). Este episódio ficou esquecido durante muito tempo, talvez perdido em Além da Imaginação...

Imagine if you will, a young boy with a monstrous imagination. A lad whose fascination with sci-fi magazines and high school drama kindled a spark that would ignite into one of the brightest creative minds of this century. A young boy by the name of Rod Serling. Embark on a fascinating tour of the life of Rod Serling in this "American Masters" special. Learn the fascinating story of how television's most esteemed and popular writer outwitted stifling sponsor censorship by creating a series devoted entirely to fantasy stories--"The Twilight Zone." While censors looked elsewhere, Serling skillfully wrote "fanciful" tales that dealt with controversial issues of the day. Extensive interviews with key figures such as John Frankenheimer, Jack Klugman, Kim Hunter and Buck Houghton provide a detailed portrait of the man whose innovative work changed the course of television history.

This tv movie features two stories by Rod Serling, who also wrote the stories of the original The Twilight Zone (1959) series: "The Theater" and "Where the Dead Are".
