A conflict arises between factions which support the space program and those who believe that "progress" has gone far enough. He is from a confederation of Mediterranean states which have stayed out of the war and built a new civilization.The last part of the film is set in a futuristic city and a new goal is set, to send Man into space. Then one day a new plane is spotted, it lands, and the pilot requests to be taken to the leader. The original purpose of the War forgotten, the only concern is to obtain fuel to keep the planes flying. The Middle part of the film shows Everytown ruled by a Warlord who wears a bear skin (an ironic symbol of a near barbarian culture). With no medicines available, the only thing to do for infected persons is to shoot them (they have turned into zombies?).
The film suggests a decades long war and a military stalemate while the civil population is reduced to a primeval existence, and disease "wandering sickness" decimates the population further. The first part of the film plays on the fears of the anticipated Weapons of Mass Destruction, (carpet bombing, poison gas), and the scenes of panic in London (Everytown) as the bombing begins are convincing and must have been quite disturbing.
