Ah yes, very good movie, and it really does not feel as if it was done in 1955.

I love it, but somehow I personally do not tend to think of it as "ahead of its time" as I cannot really think of a similar movie or of movies that have been influenced by it (I'm sure there are some, though). In any case, an exceptional movie.

Also, there is the fact that the movie predates Chernobyl... I remember reading some article making a parallel between the two: "The Zone" in Stalker and the zone around Chernobyl, both devastated and deserted, with forbidden access.
