386(U.S. title <em>Stairway to Heaven</em>)
387there is a reference to British Double Summer Time.
388The time does not play a large part in the plot;
389it's just a passing reference to the time when one of the
390characters was supposed to have died (but didn't).

406The premise of the 1999 caper movie <em>Entrapment</em> involves computers
407in an international banking network being shut down briefly at
408midnight in each time zone to avoid any problems at the transition
409from the year 1999 to 2000 in that zone. (Hmmmm.) If this shutdown
410is extended by 10 seconds, it will create a one-time opportunity for
411a gigantic computerized theft. To achieve this, at one location the
412crooks interfere with the microwave system supplying time signals to
413the computer, advancing the time by 0.1 second each minute over the
414last hour of 1999. (So this movie teaches us that 0.1 &times; 60 = 10.)
