“The Man from Earth” sees Professor John Oldman (David Lee Smith), a retiring college scholar admit an incredible secret to his closet friends. His friends throw him an impromptu goodbye party that throws him off, as he wasn’t expecting it. After spending some time with his friends and colleagues who have come to see him off, John reveals that he is immortal. This of course stops the room short of anything else as John begins to explain he’s walked the earth for 14,000 years. John then begins to tell his long-winded tale of how he survived centuries of evolution from the Cro-Magnon Era to the present.
