- A man in a time-loop must work with his brother to prevent a catastrophic fire.
EXIT STRATEGY is used with permission from Travis Bible. Learn more at vimeo.com/user25416121.
Math genius Shane reunites with his estranged brother over breakfast one morning. He has an unusual request: he knows something bad is going to happen in the future, and he needs his brother's help to prevent a tragedy.
The pair embark on a complex series of events, but must work together despite their history of conflict and resentment. And -- they're also caught in a time loop, which complicates their efforts to prevent the future catastrophe.
Writer-director Travis Bible has crafted an energetic, smart sci-fi thriller that easily pulls an audience in with smart, clever storytelling, rapid-fire dialogue and briskly compelling pacing.
The camerawork and direction is equally confident, adding to the short's sharp, propulsive rhythm. The result is a compelling cinematic experience that is genuinely entertaining without sacrificing intelligence or craft.
Fans of sci-fi will be familiar with the convention of time loops and enjoy this particular riff on the subgenre. But the film also works on the level of a relationship story, with genuine emotional engagement and growth between the two brothers. Though we don't get to spend a lot of time with them, they're able to develop with full arcs as characters, making the ending surprisingly moving.
EXIT STRATEGY is being developed into a feature, and with its intricate world and clever thrills, the stories and characters should easily expand into a larger narrative. As a short, it's authentically fun, fast-paced and surprisingly resonant -- in other words, everything people head to the multiplex for.

This just puts a huge lump in my throat. He knows he can't save him, so he just has breakfast with him. The right thing is often the hardest thing.
10:38 there you go. He did what his brother wanted
He had breakfast with him which broke the loop.
BCshooterFMJ PRIME No his brother says he doesn’t care because he spoke twice to him since his brother died and then he dies because he wants to get to the fire but now after the breakfast they will bond and his brother will care.
And therefore not die.
BCshooterFMJ PRIME
Notice how in the beginning Shane is totally not social and completing his brothers sentences. He is not trying to connect with him just trying to let him live and trough all of the day he doesn’t socialise with his brother and that’s why his brother in the end doesn’t care and rather dies. And then he actually socialises with his brother and saves him that way.
Because the moral (as I understand it) is that the most obvious/direct way doesn’t always work. Instead when you cannot solve a problem try to approach it from a completely different angle.
@@leonmuller8475 I don't think that's the point. The fireman will always do his duty, He'll always help the homeless guy who shoots him, and he'll always be too distracted to notice the car that hits him. The point is that the man in the red shirt had to learn to accept the things he cannot change and give his brother exactly what he wanted in his last few moments: a healthy relationship.
This man was trying to save his brother for over a year. He watched his brother die 380 times. That must be heart breaking
Probably more like a week. Wasnt a loop a day
@@gabrielloeb8852 a year is 365 days
@@gabrielloeb8852 the passage of time is hard to judge.. but it appears to be at least an hour or 2 on each attempt.. so it could be anywhere from a month to half a year. Probably about the equivalent of a month if it was 2 hours of time passed on each of the 380 attempts and it started with him at the diner already and not hours before like in groundhog day.
@@nate7917 Yes and each loop was like an hour or 2. 380 deaths would be 760 hours max which is 30 days. Considering most of the deaths at the start happened during breakfast, loops would have started out as only a few minutes. So it was anywhere between a week and a month, not a year
@@shadowproductions969 fully agree. But also take into account that the loops would be shorter and shorter as you went back. They started with him seeing his brother in the diner and then his brother leaving to put out the fire. Maybe 10/15 min a loop
I actually enjoy that this is one of the few time loops done as a way to represent grief.
We all keep running in our heads what we could've done but you cannot change the past no matter how much we wish it.

A beautiful re-imagining of a classical tale from over a century ago: a scientist's wife dies, he invents a time machine to travel back and save her, she dies in another way. Every time he tries to save her from one kind of death, she dies some other way... until he realizes that her death gave him the motivation to build the time machine in the first place, so if the time machine exists it means she couldn't be saved, otherwise there would be no time machine.
Name of book
Praevasc Nice. It gives him the ability to spend infinite time with his wife - he would just keep going back to see her. Would be interesting to see a version of this story that takes that into account with an analysis of those consequences.
@@zarcogabe4775 I don't know if it was in the original Jules Verne novel or not, but it was in the 2nd movie version of "The Time Machine".

The way he casually mentions that his brother would get decapitated if they sped through the road block shows that he has become desensitized to death because he's seen him die so many times, I've rewatched this film a lot, and that part always fascinates me. I'd love to see this as a feature, the main Character reminds me a lot of someone Jesse Eisenberg would play.
Now watch this short film once again 😢
This was so professional! I'd love to know what the budget was.
Or maybe Michael Cera
Reminds me of Okabe from Steins:Gate trying to save his childhood friend.
I luv the phrase where Shane says, "Time is a scientist. We're rats stuck in her maze."
But time is male
@@priyanshunayak1790 time is time buddy
@@ashfaf i think he means the god of time and in that case then yes time is male
@@priyanshunayak1790depends on the language. For mine, yes, it is, but for other it might be a male noun
@@no-one-1 Gods don't have gender, honey.
When he time looped he just disappeared. He doesn't rewind time he just goes back, leaving each timeline with one brother dead and the other missing.
Maybe, maybe not. He's not so much stuck in a time loop as he is a time traveler who keeps travelling back to the same point. Obviously Original Shane heard of his brother's death, then created a time machine to go back and prevent it. Which means in every jump back to the past there is another version of Shane off wherever he was when Matt originally died. So, assuming that he is travelling to alternate universes when he time travels, when he popped out of the forest, there's still a version of him doing whatever he was originally doing. So that universe's version of Shane will hear of his brother's death in the woods...and maybe invents a time machine to prevent his brother's death. Or maybe there's only one Shane in the entire multiverse who created a time machine, so the Shane of each timeline he's in never hops into the past.
On the other hand, if by going back into the past he is rewriting the events of his own timeline, then everything we saw has ceased to happen and there is no continuation of that timeline. This still means that there are two Shanes in the world during the events of the film. And the other Shane will still hear of Matt's death and invent a time machine to go save his brother who, at the end of the film, dies in a fire just like he originally did because Shane isn't going to make any changes from the original events of his life this time. So he winds up back in the universe he started in, except there are two of him. At least until Other Shane finishes his time machine and goes into the past, leaving Film Shane as the only one in that timeline.
So the real question is, in the original events of Shane's life, was Shane's future self having breakfast with Matt on the morning of his death?
@@flatebo1 Second Paragraph in my opinion would probably be correct. its also the plot of the time machine. "You can't change the past"
Ohhhhh damn
If you assume each attempt sprouts a new timeline. A "loop" implies one timeline, constantly repeating.
@@flatebo1 nice to see a fellow big brain
Imagine seeing your brother die 380 times. That must be the worst...
I would prefer not to imagine. I don't know how this protagonist can bear seeing this. A strange execution of love.
I know right
Steins gate
If i kept reliving the same day over and over id see what its like to commit mass murder
Marquiz Milton you hate to see it
The ending is so sad how he knows his brother is going to die and he can’t do anything to prevent it so he just enjoys his last day with him. 😔
Maybe that's what fixes it
A couple of things to point out for people devising theories and bashing other peoples' devised theories:
- Shane's brother has a pager, but pagers can be turned off especially if you call in to let them know you were calling off. This is something he mentions, as he says "Guess I'll call in sick." He never, however, in the rush, calls in, especially since his phone is dead from the spill. The spill only ruins the phone due to Shane moving it, as seen in the montage of his changes. If Shane doesn't move it, he can call in sick and take off.
- Shane doesn't mention what he did for the first time he experienced the day. Therefore, the idea that "The ending is what happened on the first time this happened" is not factual. It's ambiguous. He is set up to be a character who is distant and not in his brother's life, so he very likely could have been across the state out of town and only heard about the death over the phone, before building the time watch to loop to try to fix it. At which point, having breakfast with Shane's brother could genuinely be a completely new thing.
- There is no author written sheet saying "This is the purpose of the film." Your interpretation is equally valid as others', so the idea that "Well that defeats the purpose of the film" isn't truly a sensical thing to say, as your interpretation of the film's purpose can be different than others. For many, this is about learning to accept someone's death and ultimately about grief and mourning. For many, this is about the value of a listening ear and heart over attempts to solve problems and is ultimately about good communication and love. For others, this is about the inevitability of fate and the pointlessness of trying to escape it and is ultimately about destiny and acceptance. Your interpretation is only as valid as others, so to bash others' interpretations is to lessen the value your own holds. Don't be that person who makes their own words be worthless by claiming others' words are worthless.
Nope, you're wrong, it's about dolphins.
Nah bro its about potatos
But saying “The ending is how it all started” doesn’t make any sense. Anyone who thinks that is completely misinterpreting it.
Mad props to the actor playing dead with a mosquito on his nose.

The little fact that you can actually see jasper (the mans dog) tied up to the pole while they were walking is awesome

I thought it was just another repeating time-loop story, but then this one had a proper ending.
wow lindybeige what a pleasant surprise seeing you here
Did not expect to see you here lmao
Good to see ya here mate thanks for the vid about spears
Whoa man what u doing here! That’s quite a surprise
Who is u
"do u have time for breakfast? "
Awww... That killed me. He know he can't save his brother so he thought they would spend some time over the food
spend some more time with his brother in the Present
I meeean, there still was a way
@@Rektien this entire video is proving theres no way
Perfect response. Make a lot of sense.
Or that staying for breakfast was the only way
As someone who has been blocked in real life by her brother, this got me in the feels. I love that his brother was so proud of introduce him.
So the Bother's dying is the Absolute point, rather than trying to save him he used that time to be with him for the last time, what an excellent writing!
"Hey have you got time to stay for breakfast?" What an emotional ending. Death is fate, and can never be escaped. Shane knew that no matter what he could do, after 380 tries, his brother was destined to die. He accepted that, and made sure that for the time his brother had left, he would spend it with him, which is all his brother wanted. Shane quite literally goes through the stages of grief, trying over and over to save his brother... and by the end, he accepts the fate that his brother has been dealt... Imagine how strong you must be to simply let him go like that...
Well I’m Sure after the 379th try About anyone would give up

Imagine the story ending with a news report saying two men died saving others in a fire at a diner.
That's how I would end it.
Yeah but he never dies only his broheem
Jonathan I would wanted it to end like that but he wasn’t suppose to die so it wouldn’t make sense. Making him let go of the ‘past’ is the best thing to do. U can’t prevent things from happening but u can make the best out of it while it last
William Ballenger yeah, but In this ending both die together
Hassan Ali no, rmb he says that no matter what, he can never die, that’s why he can keep rewinding time to save his brother. In this ending he finally let it go after 379 tries knowing that there’s no way out of the maze, and on the 380 he just sat down with his brother eating breakfast to spend his final moments with him, having to send his Brother off to his doom. U could see that he was was disheartened at the end but still smile through it because he wants his final moments with his brother to be memorable. If he dies now, then the story will have a plot hole. Like how the brother must die every time he must stay alive every time too
This gave me supernatural vibes when Sam is stuck in a loop and dean keeps dying
I’ve seen that episode so many times (it’s one of my favorites) and the beginning is almost exactly to it
The mystery spot
@03:01 His battery is not dead, it powered the starter motor to turn the engine over to sufficient cranking speed to start it!
They should sell this one to Black Mirror.
Ithink they have written for black mirror before
Supernatural already did it.
padamimi haha yep the exact story line
@@azlanaa whitebear ?
There's this episode ”The Mystery Spot” on supernatural. It's probably in season 4
It'd be interesting if the only way to save his brother was when he gave up at the end and just wanted to spend time with him.
I know right! Oh my God!
That just would of been like next level 🤯🤯🤯
That maybe might have been the very first loop!
@@jeremyd2676 I don't think so, if you saw from one of the flashbacks if he doesn't do anything the brothers phone will ring, he'll be called in and die.
He tried so many things
This film and the filmmaker deserve the highest film honour and accolades. Easily, 'Exit Strategy' has got to be in my top ten favourite films of all time. The narrative, acting, dialogues, etc are all top notch. Engaging from start to finish.
Now you all know how Doctor Strange had to go through, When trying to bargain with a god a million times and looking through millions of outcomes to stop Thanos. This is why Doctor Strange is one of my favorite in marvel.
I agree he’s one of my favorites too ! Him and scarlet witch
That's different, this is a time loop. What doctor strange did was look into different timelines, a time loop repeats on one timeline. On this one, the outcome will always be his brother dying but trying to prevent it will only change how he dies.
What If episode 4's Doctor Strange episode is exactly like this and sad too.
Strange was also in a loop.
Did anybody else think the tree was going to fall on them?
I did 😂
Foreshadowing red-herring! It was a fairly sweet fakeout. Wonder how long it took to scout that location!
Nope it was the other way around literally
I think that's why his brother pushed him, because he noticed the tree and thought it would fall
It did six times. It just wasn’t shown to keep it short.
So he pretty much went through the 5 stages of grief
Confusion Anger denial depression acceptance
In one day
Muxamoose 101 it can happen at different speeds
And then it started again
He was stuck on bargaining. Thought that he could save him with enough tries.
Everything about this is so good - writing, acting, production value - plus it's quite moving. Kudos to the filmmakers and actors. Loved it
I deadass cried after watching this one. Gosh it really hits you in the feels

Your other videos and scenarios were already amazing in quality, the quality of a great movie. But this one was by far the best in my opinion.The way that Shayne stays calm and straightforward up until the end was awesome, and the loop scene explained why he was so quick about everything he did. Truly a masterpiece.
“I took him from his backyard this morning” *nothing* *else* *to* *say*
Gold Rose how does he die any way? The tree stump doesn’t even impal him and him face didn’t even get hurt. Please explain.
Gold Rose that wouldn’t kill him tho, his face wasn’t effected as you can see in the next cut. And he fell face first. Hmmmmm
ReXon A head injury in the right spot would absolutely kill you. Brain swells and your skull can’t provide pressure relief, the impact damages your vertebrae or spinal cord. Very possible. They tell you not to go to sleep with a concussion for a reason.
Moral of the story: Don’t take anything for granted and spend time with those you love most because no matter what you do one day they’ll be gone.
lost opportunity for a good finish here. After "you got time to have breakfast?" they should talk and joke and smile and then a call for fire comes in and his brother says something like: "I gotta go .... well... .. Im off duty today so. They can handle it without me :) " and then he doesnt die. SEE?? jesus the writers dropped the ball so close to the finish
Radbug that would have been so amazing! We should call that the alternative ending.
No. It's only you can stop forest fires.
my grandpa...used to say those words...thank you my friend
@@radbug Well, every time there is an option. For example if you know life is strange, there is one thing but thats a spoiler which could be prevented if we really had choices that WE would do, but writers can't give us everything and it was made solely for feeling sad. This video was made to make us feel sad too.
I really enjoyed this short film. It reminded me of the movie Time Machine (2002). I felt like the brother found out about his brother's demise and worked on a solution to go back in time to save him. Just like the movie, he only came up with the solution because of his brothers death. If his brother never died, he would have never came up with the solution to time travel. Time would never allow him to save his brother. I like the fact in the end after all his tries, he just took the time to spend time with his brother.
I’m currently writing a book with a similar synopsis and this really tugged at my heart strings. I haven’t clicked this video until today and it really coincides with the concepts I’m trying to portray. Great short

He tried so hard, he got so frustrated with the fact that he couldn’t make a difference in saving his brother, when the final beep had taken place he stared at it, contemplating whether he could or should keep trying, but he does what his brother wants most before his death, to spend time with his brother

Incredible message.
Make the most of the time you have with your friends and family - because death IS going to tear you apart , that is the only true certainty.
The time you do have is never "perfect". There's always a reason to prioritise something else...and wind up yet another elderly person living in regret.
I called my 77 year old father today. Just to say "hi". 30 minutes we talked of cartoons and guitars and world politics and of some good times, when Mum was alive...
Finished with "I love ya, Dad" and, ""I love YOU, son".
I could die OK, today.
I needed this. I always thought if I could go back to THAT day I could stop it from happening until I knew he was safe. I never thought about how good it was to just hear his voice one last time that morning.
Thank you Omeleto. ❤

I think if we think about it, this story has some roots in reality. How many times are there family members and friends that go their separate ways for whatever reason. Often because of differences in perspectives. Both brothers love each other, but don't know how to express it. And as a result, they end up hurting each other. But finally, by saying goodbye at the end, they achieve peace and understanding. And for one last time they share a "proper" meal together.

Can't save my brother. At least spend the last time with him.

Not even that... The point of the loop was to make him realize he never got to know or care about his brother because he was obsessed with math and knowledge.
If there is always a chance there are people who won't give up.

EVIL cat 😂

This was amazing, not sure what order I currently bing watching you films in but every one I watch is better than the last. Truly great work!!!
Lesson:everytime someone escapes death,death finds an other way to kill them.also spend time with your loved ones
dang, this is probably the best film I've seen on this channel so far.
Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Shared this youtube link with the actors and crew and we're all thrilled that people are responding to Exit.
I agree. It made me cry, which is pretty hard.
@@moonshineproductions2151 I can't tell you just how much I loved it. This is probably going on my all star list. (thank includes the Princess drive.)
I totally so agree
I'd even say best film I've seen this past year.
“Tried? You were elected as 8th grade president, as I recall.”
“I was running for 6th grade president.”
What was the significance of that? I noticed that particular line was emphasized, but I'm still drawing a blank.
XtraLargeFries Bc it shows how he never spent time with his brother and it comes into play
XtraLargeFries Cause it’s funny! 😂
Thinking about it..
Maybe this could mean that, while Shane is immensely knowledgeable, he overlooks the simplest things like his brother's age... Maybe even overthinking the whole maze. The correct path could just be right in front of him the entire time... being to.. hang out with his brother and enjoy their time together Maybe then, somehow, He'll live.
Maybe I'm just too hopeful.
It looks like the older brother hacked the system to get his little brother elected as a president - but he forgot which grade his brother was in. So when the results came out and the little brother from 6th grade had to explain how he won the election in 8th grade. I think the little brother (the fireman) quoted that it was not easy to explain the situation.
That dude must love his brother a lot to go back 379 times to save his life.
This is genuinely one of the few short RUclips movies I really enjoyed from start to finish. Great work.
there is actually a series of movie that just like this it's called "the butterfly effect" and trust me you won't regret watching this film
that movie is really good
Yeah, a bit different and more darker, but I can see the similarities
I loved❤ that film & was surprised that it wasn't well-received at the time😮
@@AmberAmber Edge of Tomorrow is another one, with Tom Cruise.
@@Createmyintro Do you know a few more? I know Before i Fall, Happy death day, i've seen them all. I really love time loop movies.
This is some Twilight Zone ''it's not fair" level of emotion I was not ready for.
Are you referring to the vid from this channel about an inmate subjected to consecutive amputations?
you know it sort of reminds me of the episode "shadow play" in which adam is stuck in a time/dream loop where he continues to die. only difference is, in this, the protagonist tries to save his brother instead of himself, but realizes he cant.
Brought me back to that episode of supernatural where Sam is traped in a timeloop trying to save Dean from death. It also started in a cafeteria
13:00 every loop science brother leaves, he's just creating a parallel universe and going back in time slightly. Over 380 parallel universes with his brother dead and him "missing", instead of science brother not messing with time, never being missing from reality and yes 1 dead brother in 1 unmanipulated universe.
the whole time he can go back and spend time with his brother
that's probably what he decided to start doing at the end
@@RBZ-1 exactly. He basically went through the 5 stages of grief and in the end, he realized he can't stop his brother from dying.. so all he can do is embrace the short time he has with him and get to know his brother as much as possible before letting him go. Truly a sad, but beautiful, ending.
@@shadowproductions969 what I think maxkk meant is that, he can just keep going back to this time to eat with his brother... and each time make new memories...thus time never continues and he is forever stuck on this day.
plot twist: staying for breakfast is the only way out of the maze. they order some food and talk but then his brother gets diarrhoea from the food and goes to the toilet. he leaves his phone on the table and his emergency pager drops in the toilet bowl, spoiling it. thus he doesnt go to the fire and survives...for another day
and it comes "heart-attack", and still he dies.
I actually read it as, by spending time, eating breakfast, with his brother, they never go to the fire, but maybe I missed something. I like optimistic endings.
@@ZeldaWolf2000 I'm pretty sure what happened was he realized he could never escape the maze no matter what he did, so he did what his brother wanted to do. Spend time with each other. The brother still dies, but he dies happier than before.
The point of the film is that his brother is destined to die no matter what they do, either by fire or some other way. So the only thing to do was to accept this and just make the most of his brother's last day alive.
I accept this is cannon
I find myself coming back to this one every year or so. Amazingly done
a fixed time point. in order for the future to happen, *this moment* has to happen. no matter how hard you try, you cannot change it's future.
he saw everything, despite that his brother changing a flat tire without using a jack.
You are supposed to loosen up the nuts before you jack up the car.
@@vitellismaximus Dude clearly doesn't drive.
@@vitellismaximusthat's wrong in so many ways
@@YouLose Dude what? You cant loosen them in the air. Unless of course you hold the wheel.
@@janvalle8998 Exactly. Thank you. Josh obviously has never changed a tire.
Here’s my interpretation to this: In the last scene Shane actually saves his older brother Matt and finds the “exit strategy”. Many people may have missed this but in the first scene the waitress’s name was “Bridgett” however, in the last scene her name is “Robin”. You can also notice that in the last scene, Shane is unable to predict the words of his younger brother. Shane thought his brother would say Coa Coa puffs but his younger brother actually said Lucky Charms instead. The inconsistencies in the waitress’s name and Matt’s choice in cereal subtlety suggest that Shane has successfully broken the time loop. The “exit strategy” was not to save his brother, instead it was simply to spend time with him. Near the end, when Matt dies in the forest and gives his speech that “firemen don’t run away from fires”, Shane finally accepts that his younger brother Matt never needed the intervention of his older brother. The same idea is referenced when Shane intervened in his brother’s sixth grade elections. When Shane was finally able to let his brother act independently and to simply spend quality time with him, that was the moment where the infinite loop was broken allowing Shane to find his “exit strategy”
Note: I realized I have mistaken some of the names general idea still applies
Interesting theory, but the waitress is named Robin consistently throughout. Bridgett is the wife, who Shane apparently thought he'd tick off if he showed up at the house (@0:30).
The waitress's name is Robin in both scene
best explanation ever
You messed up a bit, but this is so cool now that I think about it. Your comment deserves more likes.
I didn't notice the waitress' name part. But yes, even I thought the same thing. Before the last death, the brother tells that he wanted to spend time with his brother and since Shane realised that he can never save Matt and accepts the futility of beating the time loop, he decides to go one last time just to spend time with his brother like he said earlier. He realises that it might be the last time he ever gets to do it. Hence with going the offbeat way, maybe just maybe (because I want to see it end on a happier note) Shane managed to save Matt provided he didn't go to help in the fire accident which seems highly unlikely. But he went on to spend last few living moments with his brother. Although I really wished they could have included what's the good news Matt wanted to tell Shane while they were in the car. They never brought it up again.
Wonderful. Finally realises that you can change time but not the outcomes
Wow. The first short film that was actually a really good story and done exceptionally well. Great job everyone.
When you Kept reloading your save file hoping to save that one character you liked very much.
Or trying to beat the "Elite Four".
I feel this on so many levels
DDLC?
The man drives his pickup away with a reverse alarm beeping. They needed an automotive technical adviser on this production.
Even larger twist, his brother already died in the fire and he is imagining all of this to cope with his pain.
I’m sure after enough loops you can learn to chop him over the shoulder/neck, knocking him out until the fire ends
But it is stated before, the 'maze' always seems finds a way to kill the brother
Some ways he dies are getting shot by a mugger or getting hit by a car while changing his tire. The maze always finds a way, that just gives the maze an unconscious body to work with. Easy target

take the beeper out his pocket
Kinda the same from the "Time Machine" story
This is like that one Supernatural episode.
I was thinking the exact same thing. It's the "Mystery Spot" episode from season 3.

I saw this a few years ago and I remembered it as if it was a full 2 hours movie. A masterpiece.
Always coming back to this short
It's an amazing story that circles back to brotherhood. One of my favourite themes of all time.
Kenyan huh ...jina
“Pay the waitress” *puts down a dollar*
I mean she spilled the drink however many times
There were more under that dollar. Are you blind?
Isn’t it crazy how he asks for extra ice so it’s less of a spill
ok this is the best omleto short film yet. This one is so good and i love it so much i wish it were a longer movie and the ending lasted longer and we got to see him spend time with him. its also just crazy to me how he couldnt escape death
This is FANTASTIC! This is the BEST one I have seen. Appreciate the time you spend with your LOVED ONES!
