In the tradition of such psychologically-charged
sci-fi outings as
The Next One (1982) and
K-PAX (2001) comes the cerebral
science fiction opus
The Man From Earth (2007). The story concerns
Professor John Oldman, a scientist who summons a group of associates to a cabin one freezing night, and strikes them with a fantastic revelation: he is not a traditional human, but a 14,000 year-old immortal, who has survived centuries of evolution from the Cro-Magnon Era to the present. In the hours to follow,
Professor Oldman's earth-shaking assertion about himself challenges the men on spiritual, scientific and historical levels. But the most incredible is yet to come - an even more astonishing truth in which the men's discussions culminate.
