Things to Come

In a powerful and prophetic vision of the future, the 1936 film "Things to Come" brings to life the dystopian warnings of H.G. Wells' classic novel. Set against a backdrop of global war and social collapse, the movie depicts a dark age that lasts for decades, with humanity reduced to tribal existences struggling to survive in a world ravaged by conflict and plague. But from the ashes of destruction, a new era of progress and peace emerges, as a rational state rebuilds civilization and attempts space travel, raising questions about human progress, utopia, and our place in the universe.
