Research the genre Science Fiction Films (Sci-Fi Films)

Last homework you were asked to create a timeline of Sci-Fi
Films from the Silent Era to the 2000s.
You will now research more deeply into one of the films you
included in your timeline.
Choose one of the films and write its title, year of release and
directors name here:

looking at the year of release and the directors name.
2.
