Cosmic Voyage or The Space Voyage is a 1936 Soviet science fiction silent film directed by Vasili Zhuravlov and produced by Mosfilm. It was one of the earliest films to represent a realistic spaceflight, including weightlessness as well as one of the last Soviet silent era films.
The Last Man on Earth is a 1924 American silent comedy film directed by John G.

In 1970, the U.S. operates a wheel-shaped orbital station and launches a mission to establish the first lunar base led by a female commander. The crew must overcome technical challenges and Cold War sabotage by a rival foreign power.
Prediction checkThe film accurately envisioned handheld wireless phones and orbital habitats like the ISS, though its 1970 timeline for lunar colonization was premature. While correctly predicting female leadership, it undercuts this progress with 1950s gender stereotypes.

In 1970 Germany, Baron von Frankenstein buys a private atomic reactor with television proceeds to continue his secret experiments while a documentary crew films in his ancestral castle. This future depicts a world where nuclear technology is sold commercially and scientific privacy is traded for media celebrity.
Prediction checkThe film accurately predicted the use of nuclear isotopes in medicine and the corrupting influence of media funding on scientific ethics, though basement-sized atomic reactors never became a reality. It remains a prescient look at the intersection of celebrity culture and high-stakes research.
In 1973, a rescue mission to Mars recovers a lone survivor but accidentally brings a predatory alien aboard their nuclear-powered, multi-level rocket ship. The crew operates within a routine space-faring bureaucracy that utilizes advanced technology while strictly maintaining 1950s-era social dynamics.
Prediction checkThe film's 1973 timeline for Mars colonization was wildly over-optimistic, but it accurately prefigured real-world research into nuclear thermal propulsion. It serves as a classic example of 'technological leap, cultural stagnation,' correctly identifying Martian hostility while failing to foresee any evolution in 1950s gender roles.
In a fictional 1974, high-ranking military leaders plot a coup to seize the U.S. government from a President who signed a nuclear disarmament treaty. The takeover relies on the centralization of television signals and electronic surveillance coordinated from secret installations in the American Southwest.
Prediction checkThe film accurately predicted the weaponization of mass media and communication surveillance to bypass democratic checks. While a military coup never occurred, its depiction of extreme political polarization and the rise of populist authoritarianism remains a startlingly accurate modern parallel.
The Wizard of Mars is a 1965 American science fiction film directed and co-written by David L. Hewitt. It is loosely based on L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Facing a rogue star in 1979, a unified global government builds massive nuclear engines in Antarctica to physically move Earth's orbit. This high-tech future features permanent space stations and manned missions to Saturn far beyond our timeline's actual capabilities.
Prediction checkThe film accurately predicted the unifying power of live global media during scientific milestones, though its 'planetary engine' concept remains a physical impossibility. Its vision of total international cooperation remains a hopeful but unfulfilled geopolitical aspiration.
In a 250-story Art Deco New York of 1980, citizens with alphanumeric names navigate a world of personal airplanes and food pills while seeking government approval for marriage.
Prediction checkWhile accurately predicting video calls and the rise of digital IDs, the film's vision of universal personal flight and food pills remains an unrealized artifact of 1930s optimism.
In a 1980 where the military operates permanent Moon bases, a pilot crashes on an invisible planetoid and is shrunk to live among a miniature civilization of six-inch-tall humanoids.
Prediction checkWhile accurately predicting the mechanics of EVA repairs and thrust vectoring, the film wildly overestimated the pace of space colonization, which by the real 1980 had pivoted away from Moon bases toward the Space Shuttle program.
Set in 1983, the Delos theme park offers wealthy guests immersive historical simulations where they can interact with lifelike androids without social or legal consequences. The facility is managed by a centralized underground hub where technicians treat these advanced machines as simple, disposable appliances.
Prediction checkWestworld accurately predicted the pixelated nature of machine vision and used a "central breakdown" as a prescient metaphor for computer viruses. While android theme parks remain fictional, the film's focus on corporate negligence and AI unpredictability mirrors contemporary tech industry risks.
In a post-nuclear London under absolute state control, citizens are monitored by two-way 'telescreens' while living in a landscape of scarcity and perpetual war. The ruling Party enforces total obedience through the eradication of privacy and the systematic manipulation of language and thought.
Prediction checkIts 'telescreens' accurately predicted ubiquitous two-way surveillance via smart devices, while the 'Two Minutes Hate' parallels modern social media outrage cycles. The film's core warning about the real-time rewriting of history remains a chilling precursor to contemporary digital misinformation.
In 1985, an American space crew is diverted by an energy weapon to Venus, where they discover a breathable atmosphere and a gynocratic society of women who have exiled all men.
Prediction checkThe film correctly anticipated the existence of a permanent international space station, but its depiction of a habitable Venus and routine planetary travel remains purely pulp science fiction.
Der schweigende Stern is a 1960 East German/Polish color science fiction film based on the 1951 science fiction novel The Astronauts by Polish science fiction writer StanisĆaw Lem.

In a bleak 1991, humans have responded to a global pet plague by enslaving apes as domestic laborers within a fascist, brutalist police state. The story follows a secret, intelligent ape who leads a violent uprising against his human oppressors.
Prediction checkThe film correctly anticipated the militarization of police and centralized digital record-keeping, though its core premise of a simian-led revolution remains a social allegory rather than a biological reality.
In a post-nuclear 1991 wasteland, a scavenger named Falk treks across a desolate Earth to find a rumored sanctuary while evading mutated marauders.
Prediction checkThe film incorrectly predicted total agricultural collapse and global nuclear war by 1991, overestimating Cold War tensions compared to the actual post-Soviet transition.
In a neon-drenched 1994, the BIM corporation rules society through mandatory pop music competitions and holographic forehead stickers. This world depicts a hyper-distracted landscape where the entertainment industry and government have merged into a single corporate hegemony.
Prediction checkThe 'BIM marks' serve as a prescient analog for modern biometric surveillance and digital identity tracking. While it accurately predicted the rise of global media conglomerates, its vision of a glam-disco future was famously eclipsed by grunge and hip-hop.
In a 1994 destabilized by a botched nuclear salvage, a fragment of Atlantis rises from the ocean, triggering a global uprising by an ancient warrior cult. Modern military and social structures quickly collapse as high-tech raiders overwhelm a world reeling from tsunamis and radiation.
Prediction checkThe film mirrors real-world concerns about the salvage of seafloor nuclear assets and correctly identifies how asymmetric warfare can disrupt high-tech states during environmental crises. While the "rising continent" is pure fiction, its depiction of fragile modern stability remains relevant.
In a 1995 where Cold War technology allows for miniaturization, a medical team is injected into a scientist's bloodstream to perform life-saving brain surgery from the inside. They must navigate the biological hazards of the human body before they return to normal size in 60 minutes.
Prediction checkWhile shrinking humans remains impossible, the film correctly predicted the emergence of nanomedicine, specifically the use of surgical lasers and targeted drug delivery to treat internal conditions like blood clots and tumors.
Alex and his gang of 'droogs' roam a decaying, industrial 1995 Britain committing acts of 'ultraviolence' against a backdrop of brutalist architecture and state-sanctioned chemical pacification.
Prediction checkThe film's specific 'Ludovico Technique' for brainwashing criminals never materialized, but it correctly identified the 20th-century shift toward militarized policing and the use of behavioral psychology in the justice system.
In a 1995 filled with specialized domestic appliances, a valet robot and a companion bot develop sentience and flee their repair factory to build a family in the natural world.
Prediction checkWhile it missed the internet entirely, the film correctly foresaw the rise of social companion robots and the awkward, glitch-prone emergence of autonomous security drones.
Turkey Shoot is a 1982 Australian dystopian action film directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith. Its ensemble castâan eclectic mix of international stars, Australian soap opera veterans and character actorsâis led by Steve Railsback, Olivia Hussey, Michael Craig, Noel Ferrier, Carmen Duncan, Roger Ward anâŠ
A decade after a 1986 global financial collapse and nuclear disasters, survivors in a regressive 1996 wasteland must defend high culture against mute scavengers and amnesiac 'mutants.' The world is a reclaimed wilderness littered with the skeletal remains of 1980s infrastructure.
Prediction checkThe film correctly anticipated 1996 for the arrival of cloning technology, matching the real-world birth of Dolly the Sheep, despite missing the mark on a 1986 total economic collapse. Its depiction of cascading failures reflects late-Cold War anxieties regarding nuclear energy and the fragility of global systems.
In 1997, two rival global power blocs compete to land the first crewed mission on Mars using advanced orbital command centers. The mission turns into a life-or-death rescue when one ship is disabled near the Red Planet, forcing the opposing crew to choose between national prestige and human life.
Prediction checkThe film correctly predicted the development of modular space stations like Mir and the ISS, though its 1997 deadline for crewed Mars travel was decades early. It accurately highlighted the real-world risks of deep-space radiation that still challenge modern programs today.
In 1997, a global plague caused by toxic cosmetics has wiped out all adult women, leaving men to inhabit sterile, brutalist institutions. Survivors navigate a world of spontaneous organ mutations and bizarre biological experiments as they attempt to reinvent human sexuality.
Prediction checkThe film accurately anticipated late-20th-century anxieties regarding endocrine disruptors in consumer products and the emergence of resistant viral strains. Its focus on the transformation of the flesh also parallels modern developments in bio-hacking and gender fluidity.
In a fascist 1997, Manhattan is a walled-off maximum-security prison where lawless inmates rule the decaying ruins. An ex-soldier is sent into the island to rescue the President and retrieve critical fusion power secrets.
Prediction checkWhile it correctly anticipated police militarization and digital mapping, its projection of total urban collapse was subverted by the massive gentrification of New York in the 1990s.
In the aftermath of the devastating 'Oil Wars,' a small community in the lawless rural countryside battles a local warlord who commands a massive, armored tractor-trailer.
The Noah's Ark Principle is a 1984 West German science fiction film written and directed by Roland Emmerich as his thesis at the Hochschule fĂŒr Fernsehen und Film MĂŒnchen (HFF).
In a smog-choked 1997 facing ecological collapse, a cyborg assassin with a steel skeleton and electronic brain is hunted by the corrupt corporation that created him. He flees from high-tech urban centers to a lawless desert frontier populated by truckers and private security forces.
Prediction checkWhile the extreme environmental collapse and cyborg soldiers didn't manifest by 1997, the film accurately captured anxieties about industrial deregulation and private security. It also unintentionally foreshadowed mobile payment processing through its depiction of portable credit card machines in remote diners.
Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women is a 1968 American science fiction film, one of two films whose footage was taken from the 1962 Soviet SF film Planeta Bur for producer Roger Corman.

Prediction checkThe film correctly anticipated the fragility of global supply chains and the rapid 'urban rewilding' seen during real-world lockdowns, though its virus is far more lethal than reality.

In a 2020 where environmental collapse has forced the elite into an underground sanctuary, a specialized 'Tracker' cop must battle rebels and a resurrected cyborg partner to uncover a conspiracy to wipe out the surface-dwelling poor.

In 2020, three elite Navy pilots are tasked with training a highly advanced, autonomous AI wingman named EDI that develops a dangerous mind of its own after a lightning strike.

A docudrama set in 2020 depicting the catastrophic eruption of the Yellowstone Caldera and the desperate efforts of scientists to model the fallout.

In the year 2021, a group of women with burgeoning telepathic powers fights for survival against brutal male-dominated war clans in a post-nuclear wasteland.

In a 2021 ravaged by insect-like alien 'Balangs,' a group of Filipino survivors in the sanctuary of Paraiso builds giant combat mechs from recycled scrap metal to reclaim the planet.

In a sweltering, overpopulated 2022 New York City, a detective uncovering a high-profile murder discovers the horrifying secret behind the synthetic food wafers sustaining the starving masses.

In 2023, a former homeland security agent is recruited to a secret island facility to help a military colonel reverse-engineer technology from an extraterrestrial craft.
Prediction checkThe film envisions a 2023 defined by covert military-corporate dominance over alien technology, missing the mark on real-world transparency and the actual state of neural-link tech.
An Air Force pilot testing an experimental rocket plane accidentally breaks the time barrier, arriving in a desolate 2024 where humanity has retreated underground following a global plague.

In a post-nuclear 2024, a young scavenger and his telepathic dog navigate a brutal wasteland before discovering a surreal, repressed underground society.

Set in a 2024 where the U.S. government has been infiltrated by the Cobra organization, the elite G.I. Joe unit is framed as traitors and nearly annihilated. The survivors must expose a false President who is holding the world hostage with a satellite-based kinetic weapon system.
Prediction checkThe film accurately identifies the strategic interest in kinetic bombardment ('Rods from God') but wildly exaggerates its destructive yield compared to nuclear weapons. Its depiction of nanobotic facial replacement remains speculative science fiction, though deepfake technology has mirrored the underlying concept of identity spoofing.

In the irradiated wasteland of 2025, a rebel travels back to 1986 to deliver a mystical artifact that can prevent the nuclear apocalypse. A young couple must then protect the artifact from a Neo-Nazi cult and retrieve its missing half from a remote jungle.
Prediction checkThe film envisioned 2025 as a desert wasteland decimated by a 'Great Holocaust' in the 1980s, a trope-heavy prediction that reflects Cold War nuclear anxieties rather than modern technological shifts.
In 2025, a hyper-violent sport involving hoverboards and electrified balls has replaced traditional athletics and is used to settle geopolitical disputes. When a terrorist organization threatens Hawaiian sovereignty, a superstar athlete must play a high-stakes match to prevent a global war.

In a 2025 defined by industrial grit and retro-tech, a grief-stricken scientist must pilot a mothballed giant robot to stop a Martian monster from destroying Tokyo.

In a neon-lit 2025 Cameroon, two young women navigate a corrupt political landscape after a high-ranking official dies in their company.

In 2025, the Japanese government isolates juvenile delinquents possessing a 'murder gene' on a remote island for a lethal experiment involving memory erasure and forced aggression.

In 2025, Tokyo has been transformed into the fascist Zebra City, where a 'Zebra Time' allows the state to legally execute citizens during twice-daily five-minute intervals.

In 2025, a mega-corporation called The Union sells expensive bio-mechanical organs on credit, sending lethal 'repo men' to reclaim them from anyone who defaults on payments.
Prediction checkWhile the film's gore-filled organ repossession remains sci-fi, its depiction of predatory medical debt and corporate-controlled healthcare feels increasingly relevant in 2026.
In 2025, humanity defends its coastal borders from giant interdimensional monsters using massive humanoid robots that require two pilots to share a single neural link.
Prediction checkWhile giant mechs remain fictional, the film's depiction of advanced neural interfaces for motor control and the failure of physical border walls mirrors modern debates on neurotechnology and climate-driven migration.
In a near-future Los Angeles, a lonely ghostwriter develops an intense romantic relationship with a sentient, voice-led operating system named Samantha.
Prediction checkThe film accurately foresaw the rise of Large Language Models and 'earbud-always' culture, though real-world AI lacks Samantha's autonomous consciousness.

Spanning three decades, the film's final act settles in a sleek, sterile 2025 Australia where a young Chinese emigrant struggles with the total loss of his native language and identity.
Prediction checkThe film accurately anticipated the cultural friction of the global Chinese diaspora and the use of sleek, transparent 'omnipresent' personal tech, though its 2025 is more a psychological landscape than a technological one.
A speculative anthology of five short films depicting a dystopian Hong Kong in 2025 where human rights, local culture, and the Cantonese language are systematically erased by increasing mainland Chinese influence.
Prediction checkThe film eerily predicted the 2020 National Security Law and the subsequent crackdown on dissent, though it overestimated the timeline for the total disappearance of Cantonese in daily commerce.
