Great movie!

On the beach 1959, the world is destroyed due to nuclear war, and Australia was the last place the radiation hasn't arrived yet. Your spouse will like it as well.

This was one of our assigned books to read when I was in high school.....

A good read for sure.....

It is a good movie, but IMHO, the book was better...

A bit of trivia.....

Anthony Perkins' widow Berry Berenson was killed on Flight 11 on 9/11/01 one day before the ninth anniversary of Perkins's death.

Agree! This IS one of the best movies of its era.

Hope our younger members take the time to watch it.

Freaking depressing, saw it on TV probably in 1962.

Decent flick but; sort of morbid gloom

yep when we had an actual great leader 'Ike'

we were deep in the cold war
lots of propaganda 'about'
remember duck & cover under the school desk
like that'd do **** to protect you
lots of fear-mongering & a "great" commies blacklist in Hollyweirdo
all for a good/great reason

it was a different era
maybe the younger crowd could learn something from it

we need another Sen. McCarthy today too
