Newly Re-mastered in HD! Released just before the Cuban Missile Crisis, this chiller-thriller realistically details what might happen to the survivors of a nuclear attack. Screen legend Ray Milland leads a superb cast that includes Jean Hagen and Frankie Avalon. Harry Baldwin (Milland), his wife (Hagen), and their two teenaged kids, Rick (Avalon) and Karen (Mary Mitchell), are heading to the mountains for a weekend of fishing when they see a mushroom cloud forming over their city's skyline. With the highways and towns overrun by panicking motorists, rampaging looters, heavily armed survivalists, and doped-up punks, Milland and his family decide to head to the shelter of their fishing spot. This nerve-wracking film features gorgeous black-and-white cinematography by Gilbert Warrenton and top-notch direction by Ray Milland.
