Nostradamus 1999

Nostradamus predicted that a world war would begin at the river Borysthenes, which is the ancient name for the river Dneiper. The Dnieper is the river which divides the country of Ukraine. This is mentioned in the film in which the Blue Turbaned man will enter Europe to cause destruction.

The movie opens with a text that refers to "the preceding film" which should be at the end.

In 1991, NBC Television broadcast a truncated version of "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow". The broadcast was hosted in video segments by Charlton Heston (eliminating or re-recording the bulk of Orson Welles's narration). The film was updated to include examination of verses which may relate to the famine situation in Ethiopia (1984-85), the recent earthquakes in California (1988-89), and Saddam Hussein (1990-91).
