N.p. Stanley Kramer Productions, 1990. Vintage studio still photograph from the 1990 television re-release of the 1959 film. In the wake of WWIII, what remains of the human race is rapidly annihilated by radiation poisoning. The only habitable part of the planet is southern Australia, which will soon become toxic as air currents bring the poisonous fumes south. Survivors grapple with their impending mortality, hopeful that somehow they might be spared.
