In the Year 2889 is a 1967 apocalyptic, science fiction, made-for-television film about the aftermath of a future nuclear war. American International Pictures had commissioned low-budget cult film auteur Larry Buchanan to direct and produce the film as a colour remake of Roger Corman's
Day the World Ended (1955).< name="filmfax"></>
The film's title borrows from an eponymous 1889 story by Jules Verne and his son, Michael Verne,<></><></> but, unlike the film, is set in the year 1997. A nuclear war has wiped out most of Earth's citizens, and the movie follows a group of survivors, in a Dallas mansion, threatened both by rising radiation levels, a ruthless tough guy, and cannibalistic mutants.<></>
