The 25th Reich is a new Australian science fiction film from director, Stephen Amis, and based on the classic novella, ‘50,000 Years Until Tomorrow’ by J.J. Solomon.

Written by Stephen Amis, Serge DeNardo and David Richardson, the film was produced in Australia by Lynne Wilson’s Peal Productions, Tait Brady’s Acme Film Company, and Stephen Amis’ Revolution Pictures.
