Description

In the Year 2889 is a 1967 apocalyptic, science fiction, made-for-television film about the aftermath of a future nuclear war. American International Pictures had commissioned low-budget cult film auteur Larry Buchanan to direct and produce the film as a colour remake of Roger Corman’s Day the World Ended (1955).

The film’s title borrows from an eponymous 1889 story by Jules Verne and his son, Michael Verne, but, unlike the film, is set in the year 1997. A nuclear war has wiped out most of Earth’s citizens, and the movie follows a group of survivors, in a Dallas mansion, threatened both by rising radiation levels, a ruthless tough guy, and cannibalistic mutants.
