Renowned sci-fi writer Jerome Bixby penned the script for this thought-provoking film starring David Lee Smith as John Oldman, a college professor who reveals to his colleagues that he's actually a centuries-old caveman. And so begins a captivating philosophical meditation on immortality, the last work from screenwriter Bixby, who earned career accolades for his contributions to such genre-defining shows as "Star Trek" and "The Twilight Zone."

Press Quotes

A considerable achievement... a picture which deserves wide exposure... The Man From Earth gradually and stimulatingly builds to a pitch of near hypnotic intensity

     —Neil Young, The Hollywood Reporter

The Man from Earth is continually thought provoking... This new release offers some really excellent supplements. Recommended.

The Man From Earth is a perfect venue for Bixby's brand of philosophical sci-fi.

     —Jay A. Fernandez, Los Angeles Times

If you're looking for a vastly different kind of viewing experience that will enthrall you, The Man from Earth is your ticket.

     —The Digital Bits

The Man From Earth is very much a labor of love from all involved... it's well worth the effort. The final work from the writer responsible for some of the finest episodes of 'The Twilight Zone' & 'Star Trek' gets a thoughtful, low-budget treatment.
