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 speciaI effects. AcknowIedged as a Iandmark within the genre, Oscar-winning WiIIiam Cameron Menzies (lnvaders from Mars) creation is an astounding vision of post-war desoIation and utopian futurism.
Starring Oscar-nominated Raymond Massey (A Matter of Life and Death) as John Cabal and his descendants and the award-winning RaIph Richardson (The Four Feathers) as The Boss, Things to Come showcases a gorgeous, instantly recognisabIe score by Arthur Bliss. Presented for the first time in High Definition, this version of Things to Come has been painstakingly restored from the remaining fiIm elements and represents the most complete version known to exist.
lt s Christmas 1940 and the people of Everytown, unprepared and iII-equipped, find themseIves at war against an enemy who has been planning such a conflict for years. The land is devastated by the horrors of aeriaI 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?
