What the Buddha has to do with the Paleolithic Era, a University Professor, Star Trek Dr. Phlox, Jesus and a Cro-Magnon Man?
The Man from Earth - the movie - is from a story by Jerome Bixby, best known in literary SF as the author of "It’s a Good Life". The movie was released on 13 November 2007, and we loved it! It is definitely smartly written and also well acted.
As a science fiction movie it's quite peculiar, as it has no special effects, but is it a SF movie after all?
The movie starts as an improvised farewell gathering for John Oldman, a professor at the local university, who's moving on.
We highly recommended it.
Bixby started to write the story in the early 1960s and completed it in 1998. He also wrote four stories for the original Star Trek series including the classic episode Mirror, Mirror.
