"As the Earth Turns" is a 45-minute sci-fi film that foresaw WWII, future-technology, climate change, and the extreme need for peace, as the world was drifting back into world war again. The main character, "PAX" ("Peace" in Latin), is played by Richard H. Lyford, who desperately wants peace. He uses climate changing science to keep mankind from war. The screenplay is adapted from the 1915 novel "The Man who Rocked the Earth" by Arthur Trains and Robert Williams Wood.
