"In the 20th Century" is a series of documentaries where acclaimed directors explore significant topics. "Yesterday's Tomorrows," the third film in the series, follows Barry Levinson as he examines how Americans envisioned the future throughout the 20th century. Early hopes for futuristic homes, cars, and technology shifted to anxieties sparked by the atomic age and disaster movies.

Combining historical footage and interviews with figures like Ralph Nader, Matt Groening, Alvin Toffler, Phyllis Diller, and Martin Mull, it offers a thoughtful and often humorous look at our changing expectations for tomorrow.
