Until The End Of The World
''Until the End of the World'' (german: Bis ans Ende der Welt; french: Jusqu'au bout du monde) is a 1991 science fiction adventure drama film directed by German filmmaker Wim Wenders. Set at the turn of the millennium in the shadow of a world-changing catastrophe, the film follows a man and woman, played by William Hurt and Solveig Dommartin, as they are pursued across the globe, in a plot involving a device that can record visual experiences and visualize dreams.

The film has been released in several editions, ranging in length from 158 to 287 minutes. Plot Act 1 In 1999, panic ensues when an orbiting Indian nuclear satellite begins to spiral toward E ...
