Thrill Seekers is a 1999 science-fiction action film starring Casper Van Dien, Catherine Bell, and Theresa Saldana. The movie follows the story of a group of time travelers on a mission to prevent a future disaster of catastrophic proportions. The story begins with Alex Tully (Casper Van Dien), a rookie cop in San Francisco, finding himself in the middle of a series of strange incidents. These incidents lead him to discover that a group of thrill seekers is trying to change the course of history, by traveling to the past and performing dangerous stunts in various historical settings. They do this in hopes of creating a future where adrenaline junkies can find even greater thrills.

To prevent this, Alex is recruited by an advanced intelligence agency, known as CTS, to become a "time safari guide" and lead a team of travelers back in time to thwart the thrill seekers' plans. Along with travel agent Julie (Catherine Bell) and veteran agent Victoria (Theresa Saldana), Alex travels back in time to various eras, including ancient Rome, medieval Europe, and the Wild West.

As the team gets deeper into their mission, they realize that the thrill seekers have a hidden agenda - to change history in a way that benefits them personally. They also discover that the thrill seekers have a powerful and influential backer in the present day, who is helping them achieve their goals.

Thrill Seekers is full of action-packed scenes, including sword fights, gun battles, and horseback chases. The time travel aspect adds an interesting twist, as the team tries to blend in with the locals while not disturbing the course of history.

Casper Van Dien delivers a solid performance as Alex Tully, portraying him as a reluctant hero who is initially hesitant to take on this daunting task. However, he quickly realizes the gravity of the situation and becomes more confident in his abilities as a time safari guide.

Catherine Bell shines as Julie, bringing a much-needed sense of humor and charm to the movie. Her character is the voice of reason in a seemingly impossible situation, and her interactions with Alex and Victoria provide many of the movie's lighter moments.

Theresa Saldana delivers a standout performance as Victoria, the tough and experienced agent who takes charge of the team. Her no-nonsense demeanor and skills in combat make her a force to be reckoned with, and she quickly becomes a valuable asset to the team.

The production design of Thrill Seekers is impressive, with detailed sets and costumes that transport the audience to various eras in history. The special effects are also well-done, particularly the scenes where the travelers return to the present day through a time portal.

One of the highlights of the movie is the climactic final act, where the team faces off against the thrill seekers in a battle that spans multiple eras. This high-stakes sequence is full of thrilling action and surprises, and provides a satisfying conclusion to the story.

Overall, Thrill Seekers is an entertaining and enjoyable movie that combines action, sci-fi, and time travel elements into a fun and adrenaline-fueled adventure. Fans of Casper Van Dien, Catherine Bell, or sci-fi action movies in general will find plenty to enjoy in this hidden gem from the late 90s.
