Line 2: {{quote\|''[[Apocalypse How\|"1999 was the year the Indian nuclear satellite went out of control. No one knew where it would land. It soared above the ozone layer like a lethal bird of prey."]]''\|'''Gene'''}} ''[['''Until the End of the World]]''''' is a 1991 film by director Wim Wenders, starring Solveig Dommartin, William Hurt and Max Von Sydow. It was intended as "the ultimate road movie." It follows the story of a runaway French party girl named Claire who gets mixed up with a couple of bank robbers and the estranged fugitive son of a brilliant scientist, and it takes place against the [[Just Before the End\|backdrop of an impending nuclear catastrophe]] of an out of control satellite threatening to [[The End of the World as We Know It\|end civilization as we know it]] late [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future\|in the year 1999]]. Various feature length versions of the film exist, but according to Wenders one has not really seen the film unless one has watched the 3-part, 5.5 hour cut, also known as "The Trilogy." It was filmed on four different continents, and the cast and crew grew as production moved from country to country. ~~----~~ ~~=== ''[[Until the End of the World]]: The Trilogy'' features the following tropes: ===~~ {{tropelist}} * [[The Alleged Car]]: The vehicle that Gene, Philip Winter, et. al. use to pursue Claire and Sam in Australia.
