I can guess that is Peter Fonda. When I remember this movie, I remember mostly the long slow scenes of slim women taking their pants off and sitting in front of panels. These scenes are shot from the floor in a wide angle. Their legs dominate the frame. It happens quite a bit like a motif. Granted it is a part of the story in a way.
The plot is these college students and an older professor develop a time travel device, it allows them to go into the future and only back to the present. Only people under 30 can survive the transfer, anyone older develop kidney failure. In their travels, they discover the world of the future looks like it was completely leveled seemingly by volcanic lava that has since hardened. The institute where the transfer device is disappears along with everything, the roads, trees etc. The government in the present day discover what was invented and immediately move in to take it over so anyone who had traveled to the future were basically trapped there with no sustainability besides what they grabbed before leaving.
Believe me, the plot sounds more interesting than it really is. Like describing the plot of Plan 9 From Outer Space without ever seeing a frame of it. As I said, you see legs. Legs and landscapes. They didn't even do a good job of developing the characters. You really get to know only one. The others are like watching furniture. Also not explained is what these young adults hope to achieve AFTER all the damage has been done. There is nothing and no where to go. Some try to go on a pilgrimage (on foot!!) to the West Coast. We can only guess what happened to them. Also not explained is how they learned certain aspects of the plot are true like the over 30 developing kidney failure by transferring.
The ending has an interesting twist and that's a good surprise but overall it's lackluster unless you like legs.
