Country: US
Technical: col/scope 105m
Director: Irwin Allen
Cast: Walter Pidgeon, Robert Sterling, Joan Fontaine, Barbara Eden
Synopsis:
A U.S. Admiral is taking a nuclear submarine on a trial voyage when the Earth's Van Allen radiation belt catches fire, threatening the globe with extinction. The only solution: to fire a nuclear warhead at the belt and put out the fire!
Review:
The lavish production mixes futuristic appointments with naïve contemporary attitudes; even more charming is the documentary tone assayed in the first part of the film. Of interest, then, for these aspects, if not for a credible science-fiction plot.
