''Prophecies of Nostradamus'' is a 1974 Japanese science fiction DisasterMovie produced by [[Creator/{{Toho}} Toho Co., Ltd.]], directed by Toshio Masuda, with special effects supervised by Teruyoshi Nakano. The film stars Tetsuro Tamba as Dr. Nishiyama, a scientist whose family has passed down the [[UsefulNotes/{{Nostradamus}} prophecies of Nostradamus]] in Japan for generations. In the main narrative, in the years leading up to 1999, innumerable ecological disasters and famines run rampant, before culminating in the destruction of most life itself from a great, final nuclear war. The film also presents a view the social implications that would arise during such catastrophes. The film has gained a reputable cult status after Toho placed a self-enforced ban on the film after multiple complaints from nuclear disease activists, due to the gruesome depictions of radiation affected humans in the picture.
