Plots(1)
It's Christmas 1940 and the people of Everytown, unprepared and ill-equipped, find themselves at war against an enemy who have been planning such a conflict for years. The land is devastated by the horrors of aerial bombardment as the war drags on for thirty years, causing a period of despair, with feudal tyrants ruling a downtrodden populace suffering famine and pestilence. Can the human race rise above its desperate circumstances and build a scientific utopia? A future history as scripted by the visionary writer H.G. Wells, Things to Come set a high benchmark for science fiction with its fantastic design, gigantic sets and spectacular special effects. Acknowledged as a landmark within the genre, Oscar-winning William Cameron Menzies' creation is an astounding vision of post-war desolation and utopian futurism. Starring Raymond Massey as John Cabal and his descendants and Ralph Richardson as The Boss, Things to Come showcases a gorgeous, instantly recognisable score by Arthur Bliss. (Network)
