I'm not too young for anything.
Yes, "The Shape Of Things To Come" is based on an H.G. Wells story. The movie was directed by Alexander Korda and starred Raymond Massey and a young Ralph Richardson. The message seems to be that industry and technology will save us from our bestial nature but the film ends pretty ambiguously.
I like the movie a lot, despite its proto-fascist technocratic elements. (I've got it around here somewhere.) One of these days I should read the Wells story to see what his original brief was.
