H.G. Wells' story of future generations in brought to the screen in this early science-fiction classic, THINGS TO COME from 1936. The first part details how humanity has fallen back into barbarism under cruel, brutish leaders. The second part is about how scientists rescued civilization with their superior gadgets. The third part is about the building and firing of a gigantic Space Gun to launch explorers into outer space against the wishes of a resentful mob of religious zealots. An amazing early effort praised for its pioneering special effects and its message with rings just as true today as it did in its time.
