The Timekeeper is a 2009 Canadian drama directed by Louis Bélanger, about an eighteen-year-old timekeeper at a remote railway construction camp in the Northwest Territories. It is based on Trevor Ferguson’s novel of the same name. This is not the separate time-travel story also titled Timekeeper.
What is The Timekeeper about?
Set in 1964, the film follows Martin Bishop, an eighteen-year-old who takes a timekeeper job at an isolated railway construction site in the Northwest Territories. The crew faces a punishing deadline: build 52 miles of track in 52 days. The camp’s isolation and the power wielded by its tyrannical foreman shape the drama.

The 52-mile target is a plot detail, not a real-world railway or labor statistic.

How is the film related to Trevor Ferguson’s novel?
The film is an adaptation of Trevor Ferguson’s novel The Timekeeper. The available production information establishes that relationship but does not support a scene-by-scene comparison or a judgment about which version is better.
#1 Best Overall
Choose the novel if you want to read Ferguson’s source story; choose the film for Bélanger’s screen adaptation. Check the edition details when looking for the book, since the title alone may refer to other works.
Where can you watch The Timekeeper?
Netflix and Google Play search results have listed the film, but those listings do not guarantee current access. Catalogs vary by country and change over time. Check the service in your region for availability, subscription or rental terms, and confirm that the listing is the 2009 Louis Bélanger film—not another title called Timekeeper.
Rank #2
Which film called Timekeeper is this?
The title is shared with a different Full Moon Features story about a clockmaker and time travel. To identify the Canadian drama, look for director Louis Bélanger, actors Craig Olejnik and Stephen McHattie, or the 1964 railway-building premise.
