The butterfly effect
Kutcher plays 20-year-old college student Evan Treborn,[2] with Amy Smart as his childhood sweetheart Kayleigh Miller, William Lee Scott as her sadistic brother Tommy, and Elden Henson as their neighbor Lenny. Evan finds he has the ability to travel back in time to inhabit his former self (that is, his adult mind inhabits his younger body) and to change the present by changing his past behaviours. Having been the victim of several childhood traumas aggravated by stress-induced memory losses, he attempts to set things right for himself and his friends, but there are unintended consequences for all. The film draws heavily on flashbacks of the characters' lives at ages 7 and 13, and presents several alternate present-day outcomes as Evan attempts to change the past, before settling on a final outcome. -
Evan Treborn frequently suffers from blackouts, often at moments of high stress. As a young child (played by Logan Lerman) and adolescent (played by John Patrick Amedori), Evan suffered many severe sexual and psychological traumas. These traumas include being coerced to take part in child p---ography by neighbor George Miller (Eric Stoltz) (father of Kayleigh and Tommy); being nearly strangled to death by his institutionalized, mentally ill father, Jason Treborn (Callum Keith Rennie), who is then killed in front of him by guards; causing various accidents (including the killing of an infant) while playing with dynamite with his friends; and seeing his dog being burned alive by Tommy.

Seven years later, while entertaining a girl in his dorm room, he realizes that when he reads from his adolescent journals, he can travel back in time and is able to redo parts of his past. His time traveling episodes account for the frequent blackouts he experienced as a child. However, there are consequences to his revised choices of early actions that propagate forward in time to his present life. For example, editing his personal time-line leads to alternate futures in which he finds himself, variously, a college student in a fraternity, an inmate imprisoned for murdering Tommy, and an amputee. His efforts are driven by the desire to undo the most unpleasant events of his childhood which coincide with his mysterious blackouts, including saving Kayleigh from being molested by her father and from being tormented by her brother Tommy.
The actions he takes, and enables others to take during his blackouts, change the timeline in each new future where he awakes. As he continues to do this, he realizes that, even though his intentions are good, his actions have unforeseen consequences. Moreover, the assimilation of dozens of years' worth of new memories from the alternate timelines causes him brain damage and severe nosebleeds.[3] Ultimately, he decides that his attempts to alter the past end up only harming those he cares about, and realizes that the main cause of everyone's suffering in all the different timelines is himself. -
At the conclusion of the film, Evan purposely travels back in time one final time to the day he first meets Kayleigh as a child. He intentionally upsets her so that she will choose to live with her mother, in a different neighborhood, instead of with her father when they divorce. She and her brother are therefore never subjected to a destructive upbringing and go on to be successful in life, at the cost of Evan's acquaintance with her.
An alternate ending, shown as the main ending on some versions of the DVD, concludes with Evan going back to the day he was due to be born, where his mother is in labor in the hospital. He then proceeds to knot his umbilical cord, causing him to die before birth. This seemingly saves those close to him from their original fates. His mother is later shown having another child, a daughter, with her husband, suggesting he never became institutionalized. -
