H G Wells - Things to Come (1936)

Things to Come sets out a future history for the century following 1936. The film begins in the fictional English town of 'Everytown' in 1940, as a global world war breaks out. The war lasts for decades, long enough for the remaining survivors to have forgotten the reasons for it in the first place. Strategic bombing is so successful that civilisation on both sides is totally devastated. Humanity falls into a new Dark Age where the technology level is reduced to that of medieval times, symbolised by an automobile being drawn like a cart by a horse. There is even a medieval-type plague sweeping through the land, known as "the wandering sickness."

Thank you.
One thing occasionally overlooked by reviewers of this film was the work of HG Wells as Director of British Intelligence during WW1 prior to its making.
By the end of the Great War, the British was on track with its design to eradicate all future sovereign nation-states and pave the way for World Government. As with the Great War which Britain had created over the prior 24 years (since 1890), it now could see the future for British domination around the globe. HG Wells illustrated this in both his non-fiction and fictional work, this film being evidence of his sick but brilliant mind.
Thanks!

Pretty cool. A bit of a laughter elicited by this, too. Long live "The Peace Gas."
