Timeline (2003)

Corrected entry: The Professor introducing "Greek Fire" into the battle didn't cheat time or give the English a future weapon. "Greek Fire" was invented in the year 672 by the Byzantines, more than 600 years before the story of Timeline takes place.

Correction: You've missed the point. Yes, the Byzantines came up with "Greek Fire" several hundred years before the timeframe of the movie, but that's irrelevant. The English did not have access to it in the period depicted in the film, therefore giving it to them is changing the timeline and handing them a weapon that they would not ordinarily have had at that point in history.
