His guest, Harding, shares his worries, while another friend, the over-optimistic Pippa Passworthy, believes that it will not come to pass, and if it does, it will accelerate technological progress. An aerial bombing raid on the city that night results in general mobilisation and then <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">global war</a> with the unnamed enemy. Cabal becomes a <a href="/wiki/Royal_Air_Force" title="Royal Air Force">Royal Air Force</a> pilot and serves bravely, even attempting to rescue an enemy pilot he has shot down. </p><p>The war continues into the 1960s, long enough for the people of the world to have forgotten why they are fighting. Humanity enters a new dark age. Every city in the world is in ruins, the economy has been devastated by hyperinflation, and there is little technology left other than greatly depleted air forces. A pestilence known as "wandering sickness" is inflicted by aerial bombing and causes its victims to walk around aimlessly in a zombie-like state before dying. The plague kills half of humanity and extinguishes the last vestiges of government. </p><p>By 1970, the warlord Rudolf, known as the "Boss", has become the chieftain of what is left of Everytown and eradicated the pestilence by shooting the infected. He has started yet another war, this time against the "hill people" of the Floss Valley to obtain coal and shale to render into oil for his ragtag collection of prewar <a href="/wiki/Biplane" title="Biplane">biplanes</a>. </p><p>On <a href="/wiki/May_Day" title="May Day">May Day</a> that year, a sleek new <a href="/wiki/Monoplane" title="Monoplane">monoplane</a> lands in Everytown, startling the residents, who have not seen a new aircraft in many years. The pilot, a now elderly John Cabal, emerges and proclaims that the last surviving band of engineers and mechanics have formed an organisation called "Wings Over the World". They are based in <a href="/wiki/Basra" title="Basra">Basra</a>, <a href="/wiki/Iraq" title="Iraq">Iraq</a>, and have outlawed war and are rebuilding civilisation throughout the Near East and the <a href="/wiki/Mediterranean" class="mw-redirect" title="Mediterranean">Mediterranean</a>. Cabal offers the Boss the opportunity to join Wings, but he immediately rejects the offer and takes Cabal prisoner, forcing him to repair the obsolete <a href="/wiki/Biplane" title="Biplane">biplanes</a>. </p><p>With the assistance of Cabal, the Boss's disillusioned mechanic Gordon contacts Wings Over the World. Gigantic <a href="/wiki/Flying_wing" title="Flying wing">flying wing</a> aircraft arrive over Everytown and saturate its population with a <a href="/wiki/Incapacitating_agent#"Knockout_gas"" title="Incapacitating agent">"Gas of Peace"</a> that temporarily renders them unconscious. The people awaken to find themselves under the control of Wings Over the World and the Boss dead from a fatal allergic reaction to the gas. Cabal promises them that Wings Over the World will usher in a new age of progress and peace. </p><p>Under Cabal's guidance, Wings Over the World quickly rebuilds civilisation to even greater heights. By 2036, a stable mankind is now living in modern underground cities, including the new Everytown, and civilisation is at last devoted to peace and scientific progress. All is not well, however. The sculptor Theotocopulos incites the populace to demand a "rest" from all the rush of progress, symbolised by the coming first crewed flight around the Moon. When the mob threatens to destroy the space gun that will launch the ship to the Moon, Oswald Cabal, the grandson of John Cabal and current head of government, is forced to move the launch ahead of schedule. </p><p>Oswald Cabal's daughter Catherine and fellow scientist Maurice Passworthy are the astronauts. After the projectile is launched and just a tiny light in the night sky, Cabal debates <a href="/wiki/Idea_of_Progress" class="mw-redirect" title="Idea of Progress">the desirability of human progress</a> with Passworthy's anxious father. To Passworthy's concern that humanity shall never be able to rest, Cabal retorts that humans have no choice but to conquer the universe and its mysteries: "All the universe or nothingness? Which shall it be, Passworthy? Which shall it be?" </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Things_to_Come&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Raymond_Massey" title="Raymond Massey">Raymond Massey</a> as John Cabal and Oswald Cabal</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Edward_Chapman_(actor)" title="Edward Chapman (actor)">Edward Chapman</a> as Pippa Passworthy and Raymond Passworthy</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ralph_Richardson" title="Ralph Richardson">Ralph Richardson</a> as Rudolf, "The Boss"</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Margaretta_Scott" title="Margaretta Scott">Margaretta Scott</a> as Roxana Black and Rowena Cabal</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Cedric_Hardwicke" title="Cedric Hardwicke">Cedric Hardwicke</a> as Theotocopulos</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Maurice_Braddell" title="Maurice Braddell">Maurice Braddell</a> as Dr. Edward Harding</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sophie_Stewart" title="Sophie Stewart">Sophie Stewart</a> as Mrs Cabal</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Derrick_De_Marney" title="Derrick De Marney">Derrick De Marney</a> as Richard Gordon</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ann_Todd" title="Ann Todd">Ann Todd</a> as Mary Gordon</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Pearl_Argyle" title="Pearl Argyle">Pearl Argyle</a> as Catherine Cabal</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kenneth_Villiers" title="Kenneth Villiers">Kenneth Villiers</a> as Maurice Passworthy</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ivan_Brandt" title="Ivan Brandt">Ivan Brandt</a> as Morden Mitani</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Anne_McLaren" title="Anne McLaren">Anne McLaren</a> as The Child (2036)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Patricia_Hilliard_(actress)" title="Patricia Hilliard (actress)">Patricia Hilliard</a> as Janet Gordon</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Charles_Carson_(actor)" title="Charles Carson (actor)">Charles Carson</a> as Great Grandfather (2036)</li></ul> <p><b>Uncredited</b> </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Patrick_Barr" title="Patrick Barr">Patrick Barr</a> as World Transport official</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Clements_(actor)" title="John Clements (actor)">John Clements</a> as enemy pilot</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Anthony_Holles_(actor)" title="Anthony Holles (actor)">Anthony Holles</a> as Simon Burton</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Allan_Jeayes" title="Allan Jeayes">Allan Jeayes</a> as Mr. Cabal (1940)</li> <li>Pickles Livingston as Horrie Passworthy</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Abraham_Sofaer" title="Abraham Sofaer">Abraham Sofaer</a> as Wadsky</li></ul> </div> <p>+ <b>Cast notes</b> </p> <ul><li>Theotocopulos's scenes were originally shot with <a href="/wiki/Ernest_Thesiger" title="Ernest Thesiger">Ernest Thesiger</a>.
