The movie industry’s projections of the future are not always accurate. Space travel in 2001 wasn’t up to the standards of 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the Los Angeles of 2019 wasn’t quite as grim as foreseen by Blade Runner.
Let’s hope that film makers were equally inaccurate in their projections of life in 2020 (Annihilation Earth), 2022 (Soylent Green), and 2026 (Metropolis).
Don’t forget Mad Max – I believe that was supposedly set in 2021.Although I do have the cattle dog already, so I’m all set.
The Road Warrior was set in/around 1983

Thanks! It has been so long that I forget where I got that 2021 date from – obviously some wild ass guess on someone’s part.
