- DirectorWes CravenStarsMichael BeckBeatrice StraightLaura JohnsonCorporate exec Miles Creighton dies, and is cryogenically frozen in the hopes that he can be revived. 10 years later, the procedure is a success, and Miles returns--without his soul.
- DirectorEdward De BonoEdward De Bono's hand sketches out words and simple pictures on a scrolling sheet of white paper. It seems we have been put in a cryogenic freeze in 1988, and have been brought out after discovering a cure for whatever terminal disease each of us might have had. This creates problems with those of us who have children, because they will be older than us. Television, government, the workplace, marriages and relationships, and punishments are all detailed in an attempt to inculcate the audience into the society we have been resurrected into. The video was shot in one morning before noon and transferred to film, where it received theatrical showing, highly touting its mickeymousing score by a _Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)_ composer.

- DirectorEric ScottStarsSteve BagishWarren BurtonKen KraftTwo men awaken from a long cryogenic sleep, to do battle in a future as primitive and violent as the remote past. California has become an arid island wasteland of subsistence farming, hunting and scavenging. The air quality is now perfect unlike the bio-contaminated atmosphere of almost a century before. The population hovers around 20,000 and there is no identifiable form of government. Nothing moves on the surface streets or freeways and the major remaining peoples are Tule Indians surviving alongside small bands of other survivors, as their ancestors did two hundred years earlier. A scientist, Allen Brand, is revived in the future, to repair the damage caused by then U.S. President Campbell, who almost obliterated the planet's population when his satellite dusted the stratosphere with a lethal man-made bacteria. Campbell has a few hours lead on Brand, and frantically attempts a cover-up of his genocidal mistake. With the help of some survivors-turned-vigilantes, Brand pursues Campbell through the badlands of 2090 to save the children of earth's last generation.
- DirectorPat TremblayStarsJamie AbramsPaula DavisNavin PratapJohn Glass, wakes up in a desolated barn from a long cryogenic slumber, to be informed that not only the planet has been devastated by a third world war, but reduced to little habitability by a subsequent alien invasion. He also learns that in order to reestablish a livable atmosphere for what's left of humanity, he'll have to go on a solitary mission to retrieve important codes dispersed in remote locations. Soon enough, he'll encounter more than he bargained for: aliens, crazy survivors, inadequate equipment, LOTS of walking and a pretty unhealthy dose of bad luck.
