Professor John Oldman is packing his belongings onto his truck, preparing to move to a new home. The film was later adapted by Schenkman into a stage play. The Man from Earth gained recognition in part for being widely distributed through Internet peer-to-peer networks, which raised its profile. The screenplay mirrors similar concepts of longevity which Bixby had introduced in " Requiem for Methuselah", a Star Trek episode he wrote which originally aired in 1969. The plot advances through intellectual arguments between Oldman and his fellow faculty members. The entire film is set in and around Oldman's house during his farewell party and is composed almost entirely of dialogue. It stars David Lee Smith as John Oldman, a departing university professor, who claims to be a caveman who has secretly survived for more than 14,000 years. It was written by Jerome Bixby, who conceived the screenplay in the early 1960s and completed it on his deathbed in April 1998. The Man from Earth is a 2007 American science fiction drama film directed by Richard Schenkman.
