"As the Earth Turns" is a 45-minute sci-fi film that foresaw WWII, future-technology, climate change, and the extreme need for peace, as the world was drifting back into world war again. The main character, "PAX" ("Peace" in Latin), is played by Richard H. Lyford, who desperately wants peace. He uses climate changing science to keep mankind from war. The screenplay is adapted from the 1915 novel "The Man who Rocked the Earth" by Arthur Trains and Robert Williams Wood.

Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times Ultimately more a curio than a bona fide buried treasure, the forward-thinking production... nevertheless serves as a valuable reminder that imagination and creativity needn't ever be limited by the going technology. Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film It may not look polished... but it is brilliant in what it manages to achieve with the simple tools of the time. Rated: 4/5 Mar 26, 2021 Full Review Megan Williams Battle Royale With Cheese 'As The Earth Turns' is overall enjoyable. The digital restoration is an impressive piece of work and the new score adds to the visuals. Jun 15, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
