the Cold War comes the apocalyptic drama featuring the most unlikely romantic couple in film history: Ava Gardner and Gregory Peck.
Peck plays a sub commander who arrives in Australia, the only place where human life has survived a nuclear cloud---though scientists have determined the menace quickly is approaching.
