Hollywood Movie

High School student gets a family history assignment and is searching through the records for parts of his family tree. During his search, he comes upon a picture of an ancestor of his and is puzzled when he notices that the relative looks exactly like him; at his current age.

More research reveals a series of strange exploits and activity by this ancestor that doesn't seem to make much sense. Until he realizes that he isn't just the splitting image of an old relative... the person in those pictures is him! And he's sending messages to himself through actions/interviews recorded in the past.

Somehow, he ended up in 1885 - Time Travel has not been invented or anything, society is pretty much as it is now (2012). Whatever it was that got him trapped there forced him to spend his time in the past doing what he could to warn his future self, knowing that he was going to die (eventually) in the past (or perhaps use whatever sent him into the past as a way to get back to the future [heh]). Which ends up being sooner than he knows, because more articles reveal that on Sunday, September 6th, 1885, he's shot dead by Bart "Mad Dog" Travis and his gang while traveling on the Pine City Stage.

Student has no idea how many times he's been sent back, he only knows he hasn't succeeded. Student must puzzle together the clues left by his future self to figure out how to stop the cycle and save himself from being left for dead in the Old West.
