Movie idea: science fiction period piece, or more accurately alternate history:
In 1972, soon after David Bowie releases his album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, we learn it was prophetic: that the apocalypse hinted at in the opening song "Five Years" is really going to happen.

(Would it be one revelation too many if, as a consequence of that search, we confirm that there's life on Mars?)
I can already see the ad slogan: "He wasn't lying."
