About Incidents in an Expanding Universe
The year 2037. Rugged soldier Max and weary sculptress Nicky try to sustain a relationship in a bleak totalitarian future plagued by war, nuclear fall-out, and overpopulation. Flashbacks show Max and Nicky's doomed romance throughout the years as things get worse and the world deteriorates all around them.
Directed by Richard Stanley, Incidents in an Expanding Universe leans on a strong ensemble — Charles Helps, Nicola Kench, Anton Beebe — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1985.
