Description

As John stumbles through the empty, quiet country, he is confronted by the challenges of survival, fear and maintaining his sanity. And as his journey continues, John is forced to confront a shocking episode from his past, and he begins to realise that he may not be alone on Earth after all...This is an absolute treat for fans of sci-fi or speculative fiction in the grand tradition of writers such as H.G. Wells. Adapted for the screen in 1985 and highly sought-after ever since, The Quiet Earth is now belatedly being viewed as a classic.

Reviews
