A fantastic movie based on HG Wells vision of the future and book of the same name, the shape of things to come plots the 100 year future of mankind from 1940 to 2040.
A little differnt to George Orwells Big Brother vision, but fantastic all the same.
The second world war which was still brewing at the time, in the film lasts for decades and is followed by a great plague that wipes out most of the survivors of humanity. Rescue comes from a mysterious organisation wich spreads out over the planet re-civilising the surviving small isolated groups and re-introducing advanced technology...not everyones happy about it though.
