Quick Facts Directed by, Screenplay by ...

A sharp satire on American pop culture and its obsession with fads, 2000 Years Later imagines what might happen if the latest craze sweeping the U.S. was a return to Ancient Roman values—Reditus Ad Roma.

It all begins as a tongue-in-cheek gimmick on a late-night television program, The International Culture Hour. But the idea quickly spirals into a full-blown cultural phenomenon. Soon, everyone—from long-haired pop stars to U.S. senators, from motorcycle gangs to Pentagon generals—is donning togas, reviving Roman customs, and participating in wild, Roman-style orgies at trendy nightclubs and private homes.

Adding a surreal twist, a mysterious Roman general—sent from the afterlife—appears with a dire warning. Having witnessed the fall of ancient Rome, he’s on a mission to prevent history from repeating itself in this modern age of decadence.
