The Nostradamus Kid is a 1992 Australian feature film written and directed by Bob Ellis. The film is a romantic comedy about the religious and sexual coming of age of a 1960s Seventh-day Adventist boy. Ken Elkin (Noah Taylor) is a "randy young man" who is told that the world is about to end. In a race against time, there's only one goal he wants to accomplish—bedding the love of his life, who just happens to be the local pastor's daughter. It was nominated for two AFI Awards: Best Screenplay, Original & Best Achievement in Costume Design.
