SCI-FI FILM FIESTA FREE EBOOK: The Swingin' 60s Volume 3 - "Freaky Future Shocks"





SCI-FI FILM FIESTA FREE EBOOK:
The Swingin' 60s
Volume 3 - "Freaky Future Shocks"


From the eerie time paradoxes of Beyond the Time Barrier (1960) and the haunting evolutionary warnings of The Time Machine (1960), to the dangerous pursuit of knowledge in The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963), this volume explores the consequences of pushing beyond the limits of understanding. The journey continues through the chilling dystopia of Fahrenheit 451 (1966), the iconic cautionary tale of Planet of the Apes (1968), and the psychological unease of The Power (1968).

Rich in detail, insight, and atmosphere, Volume 3 of Sci-Fi Film Fiesta, The Swingin’ 60s - “Freaky Future Shocks” captures the anxieties of a world caught between optimism and dread—where every scientific breakthrough carried the possibility of unintended and irreversible consequences.

The films explored in this volume may belong to another era, but the questions they raise remain as relevant as ever. Each reflects a world grappling with change—scientific, social, and existential—and each offers a glimpse of futures shaped as much by human choices as by technological possibility.

In revisiting these stories, we are reminded that the future is not a fixed destination, but something continually being created. The warnings, hopes, and imaginings of the past still speak to us—if we are willing to listen.

More than a celebration of classic cinema, this volume is an invitation to reflect on our own time. As we navigate an age of rapid technological change, the visions of the 1960s feel less like distant fantasies—and more like warnings we are only just beginning to understand.


The future is coming!
The question is…
are we ready for it?

Oh, did I mention that this volume is…….

Journey to the Far Side of the Sun / Doppelgänger (1969)


A stylish and thought-provoking but quite dark sci-fi film with some great sequences and special effects. The film raises some interesting questions about the conflict between science and politics

Well, dear reader, it wasn’t all that long ago when we fare-welled our look at the sc-fi films of the 1950s. Now, a few years later with the following post we’ll be taking our leave of the sci-fi films of the 1960s and what a journey that has been. For this post I have decided to take a fair bit of license by constructing a ‘What if?’ scenario while maintaining the essential plot elements of the film. In fact, if you watch the film again after reading this post, it seems to acquire quite a sinister feel to it. Anyway, hope you enjoy it.

These Are The Damned (1962)



Quite a powerful sci-fi film with social commentary and philosophical / moral implications. Solid acting performances and good cinematography

Save the children

“We can't leave the children”
To face a future filled with dust
And ash, abandoned and forsaken
At the mercy of all that’s unjust.

“Help! Help! Help!”hear their cries,
Faint and muffled under the rubble
From death made smart in the skies,
Distanced, none held to be culpable. 

“Help! Help! Please help us!”
Louder now we hear their pleas,
But only choose to discuss
Cures for the disease of unease. 

“Someone help us! Someone help us!”
Anguished cries of many young souls 
Thrown under a speeding social media bus
Prey to algorithms, paedophiles and trolls.

“Please help! Help! Help! Help!”
Pay off a debt and find a home?
Feeling alone? Ask AI or try self-help!
Solution: live under a plastic dome.

“Please help us! Someone help us!”
Who takes heed as bombs and bullets fly
Resigned to it having always been thus 
All the while the children plead and cry.

“Help! Help us!” from kids who roam 
In futures drowning in deluges,
Frying in flames and chilled to the bone,
Hear them then and be their refuges.

“The age of senseless violence has caught up with us, too”

To find out, we’ll need to begin our journey with a bird's eye view of ocean waves crashing on the remote shore below a rocky cliff on the south coast of England. Atop the cliff and along its edge we spot a collection of bronze sculptures looking like fallen grotesque, disfigured and charred human remains: Something akin to Southern England’s version of Easter Island’s mysterious stone sentinels? What do they stand as testament to? A message to a future with no one left to decipher what they had borne witness to in the dim past?

Come now and let us descend to the land of the living at the resort of Weymouth to the accompaniment of the Black Leather Rock song:

Sands Airbase Intelligence Division

Location: Sands Air Force Base

Context: X-80 high altitude flight preparation for space program.

Contents:

  • Transcript of initial de-brief interrogation
  • Transcript of tape recording by Major Allison recounting his experiences from time of test flight commencement until his return in the X-80.
Summary:
(based on Maj Ellison’s testimony)


  • Upon his first landing at Sands airfield after the high altitude test, Maj Allison found the base and its surrounds to be totally desolate and devoid of any life.
  • Allison had come to believe that he had broken the time barrier and had arrived in the future in the year 2024.
  • Maj Allison went on to discover a subterranean world called the Citadel.
  • He also learned that a plague occurred due to nuclear fallout not long after our own era.
  • With the exception of two prominent citizens of the Citadel, one being designated The Supreme and the other, The Captain, everyone else, as a result of the plague was deaf, mute and sterile.
  • The Supreme's granddaughter, named Princess Trirene, may not have been afflicted by sterility and had according to the major the ability to read minds.
  • Allison claimed that three others in the Citadel had also like him found their way into the future, having arrived from different post-plague years.
  • The major also reported that those in authority suspected hum of being a spy and and were determined to keep him there in order to procreate with the Supreme’s grand-daughter due to the sterility problem and the threat to their populations’ survival.
  • Maj Allison made it his mission to return to 1960, in order to attempt to prevent the plague from occurring by convincing those in authority the truth of what he experienced.
  • Maj. Allison managed to return to Sands Airbase but with significant and inexplicable physical consequences to himself, in addition to possible emotional and psychological effects that could have a bearing on the validity of his account, the transcript of which along with the original recording are contained with this report.

We have already witnessed a possible future in which humanity in the year 2029 faced the possibility of extinction in a war with machines. In order to prevent human beings from triumphing in that war, a cyborg - the T-800 TERMINATOR - was sent back to the year 1984 to kill the mother of the human resistance leader, John Connor.


Now, we discover that in the future year of 2087, freedom of thought is illegal and the world’s population is controlled by governments that employ technology as a means of control. A small resistance group of free thinkers send a cyborg, ‘Garth A7’ back in time to the year 1966 to prevent a scientist, Professor Sigmund Marx from making a discovery he will term as "Radio-Telepathy" that will eventually result in mind and thought control becoming a reality and as a consequence will lead to the establishment of tyranny in Garth's time. Hot on Garth’s heals are government agents called ‘Tracers’ who have also been sent back from the future to prevent him from carrying out his mission and changing that future.

The Phantom Planet (1961)



A fun sci-fi film with minimalist production values and special effects, both matching its budgetary constraints but with interesting ideas such as anti-gravity and magnetic fields. Unfortunately, it fails to launch far enough away from the world of 1950s film sci-fi and take the viewer into the brave new world of the future. Phantom Planet will, however grow on you after a couple of viewings, especially the colourised version.

Journal of (former) Captain Frank Chapman (USAF Space Exploration Wing)

“Since the splitting of the atom only a few decades ago and through his god-given genius of science, man at last has succeeded in penetrating further and further into the unknown vastness of space. The moon has become the launching base for advance exploration. From this pivotal point astronauts at the risk of their lives set out to conquer nature's mysterious forces, yet many questions remained unanswered:
  • What is his earth in relation to the inconceivable number of other worlds?
  • Is his speed truly the fastest?
  • His achievements the greatest?
  • Or is he a mere unimportant piece of driftwood floating in the vast ocean of the universe?
  • Could there be life similar to our own on other planets?
  • Is it not possible that atmospheric conditions of relative environments control their shapes and forms?
  • If so, would they be giants…. or could perhaps the opposite be true?
  • Could their intellect have reached a scientific level far above man's dreams?
What then will the future reveal” should the story I am about to set down here somehow finds its way into the public domain, is believed and constitutes “only the beginning?”

Humanity had been drifting on a cloud of smug self-satisfaction since the first manned moon mission at the end of the 1960s. Since then we had established lunar bases and at the start of the 1980s we were on the eve of a mission to Mars. Suddenly just over a year ago things started going wrong.

On 16th March 1980 Pegasus 3 while on its last day of space reconnaissance research flight 361 for the US air force Lunar Base One and at 21 000 miles from the base, encountered a large planetoid object on a direct collision course with the ship. The uncharted planetoid had somehow failed to register on the ship’s long-range sensors. After Captain Leonard reported having lost control of the Pegasus, his ship seemed to have just mysteriously disappeared. Another spacecraft had inexplicably vanished seemingly without a trace and without a reason.

As rumors began to spread involving space monsters and phantom planets, I together with my navigator Lt. Ray Makonnen were ordered to investigate. Well, for me there went the Mars project for which I had been preparing!

All that was known was that there were two ships on routine missions both with flight controls and rockets in order having gone missing in less than a month with nothing within thousands of miles of their position. Despite all this, they somehow managed to crash into something that appeared suddenly on our radar big enough to be a planet and then the next instant it disappeared “against all theories of space.” This mysterious planet seemed to come and go at such speeds it was impossible to track.

There was nothing for it but to conduct a reconnaissance for “something out there that isn't supposed to be.” Otherwise, if this Phantom planet mystery wasn’t cleared up and the rumors surrounding it dispelled, there wouldn’t be any Mars project for me or anyone else to be on.

Lt. Ray Makonnen and I soon began our search aboard Pegasus 4. Our mission involved us charting the same course Pegasus 3 took. At 18 000 miles out at 270 degrees azimuth and 47 degrees ecliptic with our speed at 4.6 miles per second, we felt that we weren’t getting anywhere considering the fact that this mysterious phantom planet was dashing about all over the place. We therefore decided to change course. After all, “lightning never strikes twice in the same place” and all we could do was be patient even though we ran the risk of going nuts just waiting for something to happen.

Suddenly the electrostatic meters started going haywire. Lunar Base One then informed us that we were completely off course. We had entered a heavy magnetic field resulting in several instruments failing and with others about to fail.

With all this happening and despite an impromptu course change, Pegasus 4 sustained damage from a meteor shower, requiring Lt. Makonnen and I to go outside our ship to make repairs.

It was a fairly routine procedure to effect the required repairs, but as luck would have it a micro meteor struck and pierced my suit’s air hose rendering me unconscious.

Lt. Makonnen managed to repair the hose, but as we were at the entrance to the airlock hatch, he must have been fatally struck by a similar micro-meteor. Before being propelled into deep space, it seems that Lt.,... Ray had somehow managed to push me inside the ship and close the airlock hatch.

When I came to I found Ray gone and try as I might, I discovered I was unable to communicate with the lunar base. I then decided to record a log entry outlining what had happened and what course of action I would take now that Pegasus 4 was completely out of operation and that I was unable read my position.

The only choice I felt I had was to make a forced landing on a near-by asteroid that was somehow exerting a force on Pegasus and pulling the spaceship in towards it.
