La vita futura
Titolo originale: Things to Come
Dopo una lunga guerra gli abitanti della Terra, stremati, creano un nuovo ordine mondiale basato sulle conquiste del progresso. Ben presto però la gente si ribella a una vita troppo ordinata e perfetta. Il primo lancio di uomini sulla Luna placa la rivolta. Brillante e inquietante visione, in chiave fantascientifica, del clima prebellico mondiale. Ottima la sceneggiatura del romanziere Herbert G. Wells. Splendide le scenografie.
