From Ruin to Utopia: The Sonic Future of Things to Come

William Cameron Menzies, 1936 | Public Domain

• Plot: It’s Christmas 1940, and Everytown resident John Cabal (Raymond Massey) fears that war is imminent. When it breaks out, the war lasts 30 years, destroying the city and ushering in a new dark age of plagues and petty despots. But there is hope in the form of Wings Over the World, a group of pacifist scientists and thinkers lead by Cabal. Their dream is to build a utopian society on the ruins of the old. But first they’ll have to unseat the latest ruling tyrant (Ralph Richardson).

H.G. Wells’ Things to Come is a visionary sci-fi epic that spans a century of war, plague, and progress. With striking Art Deco sets and an ominous orchestral score by Arthur Bliss, the film explores humanity’s struggle to rise from destruction into a utopian future. Bold, cerebral, and eerily prophetic, it’s a landmark in speculative cinema.

The sound of Things to Come (1936) captures the sweeping arc of civilization—from the thunder of war machines to the hum of futuristic cities. Arthur Bliss’s dramatic score drives the film’s epic tone, while mechanical drones, echoing chambers, and dystopian silence paint a vivid aural picture of humanity’s fall and rebirth.
