The Man Who Saw Tomorrow

1981 · 1h 28m · Documentary, Drama · United States of America · Rated PG (US)

He foretold our yesterdays...and tomorrows.

Hosted by Orson Welles, this documentary utilizes a grab bag of dramatized scenes, stock footage, TV news clips and interviews to ask: Did 16th-century French astrologer and physician Nostradamus actually predict such events as the fall of King Louis XVI, the rise of Napoleon, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy? And are there prophecies that have yet to come true?
