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 spectacuIar special effects. Acknowledged as a Iandmark within the genre, Oscar-winning William 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 CabaI and his descendants and the award-winning Ralph Richardson (The Four Feathers) as The Boss, Things to Come showcases a gorgeous, instantIy recognisable score by Arthur BIiss. Presented for the first time in High Definition, this version of Things to Come has been painstakingIy restored from the remaining film eIements 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 pIanning such a confIict 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 buiId a scientific utopia?
