The Machine Stops

Viewers interested in modern Science Fiction cinema often explore The Machine Stops because of its cast, story direction, and audience popularity.

Two people live in a dark technological utopia/dystopia - "the Machine". Kuno and Vashti, have differing opinions about the world which they live in and their interaction and conflict as their society comes to a sudden collapse. The story raises themes of man's role in the midst of a technology-dependent built environment that are seemingly more relevant today than when the original short story was published in 1909.
