About this product

Product Information

After the entire Northern Hemisphere is destroyed by a nuclear war, a group of survivors in Australia prepare for their own inevitable demise. As a deadly cloud of radiation creeps toward the continent, some survivors cling to hopes that life as they know it has continued somewhere, hopes that are fed by the discovery of a mysterious, erratic radio signal emanating from San Diego. Others, such as Astaire's sardonic, race-car driving physicist and Gardner's world-weary, tippling party girl, throw their energies into squeezing the last drops from their lives. A grim, unflinching clarion call for sanity that inches along at a maddeningly deliberate and suspenseful pace. Based on the novel by Nevil Shute. Academy Award Nominations: 2, Best Editing (Frederic Knudtson) and Best Score (Ernest Gold).

  • The Big Boom

    This 50's movie derived from Nevil Shute's book of the same name addresses nuclear holocaust in the cold war. Only southern Australia people are left alive and their time is coming quickly. A great read and a great movie that are very timely indeed in our current situation... Right, Mr. Putin?

  • Scary and a possiblity that may become a probability anytime now!

    This should be required for most global citizens to watch. It is a about the end of the world following a global nuclear war in 1959. It is a warning that this dark, depressing scenario where the human race ends most life on the planet. With the proiferation of nuclear weaopns in today's world this could actually happen - possibly sometime in the near future.

  • Heavyweight you should come away from this one wanting to read the Guns of August.

    A 1959 black and white classic, a thought provoking story of when things don't work out and how kind people can be to one another regardless.
