The Day the Earth Caught Fire

Directed by Val Guest

With Janet Munro, Leo McKern, Edward Judd, Michael Goodliffe and Bernard Braden

British reporters suspect an international cover-up of a global disaster in progress... and they're right. Hysterical panic has engulfed the world after the United States and the Soviet Union simultaneously detonate nuclear devices and have caused the orbit of the Earth to alter, sending it hurtling towards the sun.
