- Hello, everyone.00:02:16
In just two hours,
the atomic rocket00:02:18
will take off on its
flight to the moon,00:02:21
circumnavigating
it on its journey,00:02:23
and then returning
to this Earth,00:02:24
thus achieving
the most ambitious00:02:26
scientific adventure
of all time.00:02:29
25 monitoring stations
throughout the world00:02:30
in direct communication
with the base here00:02:32
will follow the course
of X-Z by means of radar00:02:35
installed in
artificial satellites00:02:36
that have been
launched into space00:02:38
at intervals during
the last few years.00:02:40
The name of the pilot
is not yet known.00:02:42
It is being kept secret
till the last moment.00:02:44
There are three men
who are eligible00:02:45
for this coveted task from
Russia, England, and America.00:02:49
Which of them will
be first to attempt,00:02:50
in the immortal
words of Shakespeare,00:02:52
full soon to draw the clouds
that hide the silver moon?00:02:55
- [Announcer] That
they may not move00:02:56
from the enclosure
allotted to them.00:02:59
- Can anyone tell me
what's going on here?00:03:01
Here we are, stooging around00:03:03
like a pack of lost
kids at the seafront,00:03:04
wondering what comes next.00:03:06
I thought this was an
information center.00:03:07
- Ah, I can put
you onto something00:03:09
that'll save you waitin'
for the big blowup.00:03:12
Sure, you've seen
they've chosen me00:03:13
as the pilot of the rocket.00:03:15
- As most of you are
viewing already know,00:03:18
the cabin of the X-Z atomic
rocket has a mechanism00:03:20
which releases it instantly
in case of emergency.00:03:23
In fact...00:03:27
Attention, attention.00:03:29
Viewers, I was handed
only a moment ago00:03:32
the pilot's name.00:03:35
The first man to be
launched into space00:03:37
is the American, John McLaren.00:03:52
- I'm extremely happy that
you have been chosen, John.00:03:55
I offer my congratulations
both as a scientist and friend.00:03:59
- We designed and built
the X-Zed together, John.00:04:01
There couldn't have been
a better choice of pilot.00:04:03
Good luck and good landing.00:04:06
- Guess we're all a
little envious, John.00:04:08
But good luck anyway.00:04:09
- [Announcer]
Attention, attention.00:04:11
90 minutes to launching.00:04:14
- Pardon me, your wife's here.00:04:43
- You?00:04:52
I'm frightened,
John, I'm frightened.00:04:55
- Everything's going
to be all right, Mary.00:05:00
- We'll be in
different worlds, John.00:05:04
I think I shall
be the loneliest.00:05:06
- There's no reason
to be afraid.00:05:08
And don't be lonely, either.00:05:09
It makes the waiting longer.00:05:11
Promise me.00:05:12

should happen out there,00:06:22
you will take care of Mary
and the boy, won't you?00:06:26
- If anything should
go wrong with you,00:06:27
you must release the cabin.00:06:30
Nothing will, though.00:06:33
- Should you release it, try
not to fall on our heads.00:06:36
- I will, General.00:06:37
Your heads won't be
thick enough to save me.00:06:39

done it, John!00:14:12
You're in orbit!00:14:14
How are you feeling?00:14:16
- Fine.00:14:17
- [Herbert] Can you give
me your observations?00:14:20
- Temperature constant.00:14:24
Cosmic radiation normal.00:14:26

you will be in00:15:00
your present position
again in 45 minutes.00:15:03
Switch on the motors at 45
minutes, three seconds from now.00:15:08

be on course for the moon.00:15:12
As soon as you're out of
orbit, cut out the motors.00:15:16
- [John] Okay.00:15:17
- Quick, Mary, speak to him.00:15:18
- John!00:15:19
Can you hear me, darling?00:15:21
It's Mary.00:15:24
- Mary?00:15:26
Everything's fine.00:15:30
Don't you worry.00:15:41
- Nothing's wrong,
he's out of range.00:15:43
We'll see him again
in 45 minutes.00:15:46
- Well, gentlemen,00:15:47
the launching has been
a complete success.00:15:50
Thank you.00:15:59
(ticker tape clacking)00:16:09
- The orbit calculations, Peter.00:16:12
Something's troubling you?00:16:15
- You.00:16:16
- [Katie] I?00:16:18
- That cool beauty.00:16:19
It freezes my powers
of concentration.00:16:26
- [Herbert] Leduq, where
are the orbit calculations?00:16:29
- I was just going
to bring them along.00:16:31
- [Herbert] Bring the
other stuff too, okay?00:16:33
- Okay, I get it.00:16:43
A small celebration.00:16:44
Come and join us?00:16:45
- No, I'll get on with this.00:16:50
- Well, if that's
the way you feel.00:16:51
But you're going to miss
an excellent champagne.00:16:54
- And please to keep
the door closed.00:16:56
Variations in temperature
affect my calculator.00:17:07
- Professor Weisser,
the orbit calculations.00:17:09
- Hm.
- Paris calling Cape Shark.00:17:11
X-Zed is now overhead.
- Yes.00:17:13
- [Radio Operator]
Coordinates four three four,00:17:15
four three four, one call.00:17:18
- Perfect.00:17:19
Yes, my missile is perfect.00:17:20
- No, it is our missile.00:17:21
- Eh?00:17:22
(laughs)00:17:24
- I trust you'll think as
well of this, Boetnikov.00:17:27
The western nations are
happy to offer it to you00:17:28
as an expression of
their appreciation.00:17:34
- Thanks.00:17:36
Thank you, all of you.00:17:37
- A replica in gold.00:17:39
Solid gold.00:17:41
After all, we couldn't offer
you anything less than perfect.00:17:43
- Of course not, Weisser.00:17:45
I've often given
others a rocket,00:17:46
I never thought to receive one.00:17:48
- Unscrew the nose.00:17:50
Ha.00:17:51
A cocktail of my own invention.00:17:53
It contains American rye, Scotch
whisky, and French cognac.00:17:57
The best the West can offer.00:18:00
- With that recommendation,
I'll give it a try.00:18:01
(laughs)00:18:03
No doubt your finest
invention, Weisser.00:18:04
But for perfection, you should
add a little Russian vodka.00:18:07
- In which case
we should call it00:18:08
a cordial instead of a cocktail.00:18:10
- [Peter] We can go one better.00:18:11
Come try the universal
panacea, champagne.00:18:14
- Four, three, two, one!
- This is something!00:18:16
- Zero!00:18:17
- Might even pull the
Iron Curtain aside.00:18:19
- We'll all go into
orbit after this.00:18:21
- To the successful
conclusion of this venture.00:18:26
- [Lab Assistant] Geiger!00:18:28
You ought to celebrate too.00:18:31
Here, taste.00:18:32
- [Scientist] Look at him!00:18:33
- [Scientist] To
the manor born, huh?00:18:36
- Just look at our mascot.00:18:37
Do you think we
ought to allow it?00:18:38
- Oh, Miss Dandridge.00:18:43
Miss Dandridge.00:18:44
- [Katie] Sir?00:18:45
- Come and join us, won't you?00:18:46
- Thank you, but I must finish00:18:47
the calculations on
variations of course.00:18:51
- Oh well.
- The perfect example00:18:52
of scientific sang froid.00:18:53
- You put it too mildly, Stuart.00:18:54
I'd say she'd make an
efficient refrigerator.00:18:57
- Not at all, it's a form of
pretense that she practices.00:19:00
Given the time, the
place, the certain kiss,00:19:02
there'd be summer in December.00:19:03
You don't think so?00:19:04
- Another of your silly notions.00:19:05
- No, no, I've met
the type before.00:19:07
Just to prove I'm right,
I'll deliver the kiss myself.00:19:09
Care to bet on it?00:19:10
- Okay, Don Juan, it's on.00:19:12
It's not exactly in the
best of taste, but still,00:19:14
I'm quite confident
of the outcome.00:19:16
- How much time am I allowed?00:19:18
- There isn't much.00:19:19
In six days we'll be dispersing.00:19:21
- Oh, six days'll be ample.00:19:23
The winner to fix the forfeit.00:19:24
Well, aren't I most generous?00:19:26
- Or most unsure.00:19:28
Now where are you going?00:19:30
- To start the attack.00:19:32
- Communication from Moscow.00:19:34
- Thanks.00:19:43
- I brought your share
of the celebration.00:19:45
- Kind of you to think of it.00:19:46
I'll have it when
I've done this.00:20:02
- Here, special for you.00:20:04
- Oh, very well, then.00:20:10
- Something troubling you?00:20:11
- You are.
- I?00:20:13
- Your attempts at childish
frivolity are rather disturbing.00:20:18
- In that case, I guess I'd
better leave you alone, then.00:20:21
- Your guess is correct.00:20:30
And don't forget the door.00:20:31
The variations--
- Variations in temperature00:20:33
affect the calculator.00:20:35
I know.00:20:47
(radar whistling)00:20:59
- [Randowsky] There are
now 20 seconds to go.00:21:04
- [Herbert] Hello, McLaren,
Cape Shark calling.00:21:07
Everything in order?00:21:08
Are you ready?00:21:11
- I require the data
and the countdown00:21:13
for starting the orders.00:21:15
- 30,000 kilometers an
hour until zero plus four,00:21:18
after which you will push
them to maximum speed.00:21:21
- Okay.00:21:23
- [Weisser] Countdown.00:21:24
- [Stuart] Five, four,
three, two, one, zero.00:21:32
- Started one.00:21:36
Started two.00:21:40
Started three.00:21:41
(rocket firing)00:21:49
(alarms ringing)00:21:56
- I can't hear anything,
and he's still talking.00:21:58
- John, what's wrong?00:21:59
We can't hear you.00:22:00
John, hold it!00:22:03
- Sir, I'm losing contact.00:22:05
- John, John, listen to me.00:22:06
Cut the atomic reactor.00:22:07
- X-Z has gone up three.00:22:09
Can you control the wavelength?00:22:11
- Did you hear, John?00:22:13
Disconnect the reactor
and release the cabin,00:22:14
and you'll be all right.00:22:16
John, listen to me, cut loose.00:22:17
Release the cabin, man!00:22:19
Hello, hello, Cape Shark
to X-Z, Cape Shark to X-Z.00:22:21
- [Sergei] Call
Hulu Observatory,00:22:22
general alert to all stations.00:22:24
- Yes, sir, hello?00:22:25
- Call up Washington,
Admiral Goodridge.00:22:26
Yes, General.00:22:28
- [General] I'll take
the call in my office.00:22:29
- Hello, hello, Cape
Shark calling Mount Hula.00:22:32
- Connect me with
Washington, Washington.00:22:35
- [Announcer]
Attention, attention.00:22:37
Emergency services red warning.00:22:39
- General. What's gone wrong?
- Emergency services00:22:40
red warning.
- Now, don't get upset.00:22:41
We've lost contact temporarily,00:22:43
but for safety's sake, we've
ordered John to cut loose.00:22:44
- He'll be all right?00:22:45
- Of course.00:22:47
He releases the cabin,
cuts in his retired rocket,00:22:48
and then brings it
straight back to Earth.00:22:50
- Please, General,
find him quickly.00:22:52
- Naturally.
- Please find him.00:22:53
- I assure you, Mary,
there's no need to worry.00:22:55
- [Announcer] Radio and
television operators00:22:56
report to control.00:23:02
- [Radio Operator] Reverent
point beta one two.00:23:04
Off course five degrees.00:23:05
Tangents four oh one.00:23:07
- He's already lost a
great deal of height.00:23:08
Altitude 1,200 miles.00:23:10
Hulu observatory calling
base control Cape Shark.00:23:13
Hello, hello.00:23:14
- Base control Cape
Shark receiving you.00:23:17
- [Radio Operator] The pilot
has released the cabin.00:23:19
We have this in sight of him.00:23:21
- And X-Z?00:23:22
- [Radio Operator] It is
completely off course.00:23:23
We're trying to pick it up now.00:23:26
- Hello, what is the
position of the cabin?00:23:29
- [Radio Operator]
Altitude 1,200 miles.00:23:30
Your radar screen
should show it.00:23:36
- Here it is.00:23:39
He's losing height, though.00:23:42
Coordinates four six four.00:23:49
- That's on the west
coast, around Cape Muir.00:23:52
Stuart,00:23:53
link up with coastal stations
to be ready to salvage.00:24:04
(rocket whistling)00:24:17
- It's heading
towards the beach.00:24:18
- This is one five calling.00:24:20
Cabin coming down
over Cape Muir.00:24:22
- Message received.00:24:24
Message received. Continue, over.00:24:26
One five degrees southwest
of position, number one five.00:24:30
Here it is.00:24:32
Helicopter I-S one five,
helicopter I-S one five,00:24:35
get along to the
beach as directed.00:24:37
The cabin should be
landing any moment.00:24:40
(helicopter rotors beating)00:24:50
Hello, Cape Shark?00:24:51
Helicopter pilot radioed
he has picked up McLaren00:24:54
and is returning now.00:24:57
(helicopter rotors beating)00:25:20
- [Sergei] Give me
the transmitter.00:25:22
- [Radio Operator]
Yes, professor.00:25:23
- [Sergei] Stuart?00:25:24
Any news from the observatory?00:25:26
- [Stuart] I haven't
picked up the X-Z yet.00:25:27
It must be out of
their range by now.00:25:29
- Have you asked the
other observatories00:25:31
to join in the search?00:25:32
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.00:25:41
- Why this delay, Herbert?00:25:44
- Try and have patience, Mary.00:25:46
- It's impossible to go
on living in this agony.00:25:48
I must see him, I must!00:25:50
Look, please, just
for a second, can't I?00:25:54
- He's making a good recovery.00:25:56
You may go in now, but
don't tire him too much.00:26:09
- Oh, John.00:26:14
- [John] Darling.00:26:17
It's all over now.00:26:19
- Dear God, I thank you.00:26:22
John, it was terrible.00:26:25
Terrible.00:26:27
- Don't worry anymore.00:26:30
We're together now, Mary.00:26:32
- [Mary] Yes.00:26:34
- [John] Us, Dennis.00:26:36
- He sends you his love.00:26:38
He's at home, waiting.00:26:42
Oh, John.00:26:54
- Now then, John, let's have it.00:26:56
What happened to you up there?00:26:59
- When I switched
on the third motor,00:27:02
the rocket started
to veer off course.00:27:06
I did my best to control it,00:27:08
but the steering gauge
just wouldn't respond.00:27:13
It had evidently
jammed or something.00:27:17
If I'd waited any longer
to release the cabin,00:27:20
it would have been too late.00:27:22
We'd have been outside
the Earth's gravity.00:27:24
- Of course you disconnected
the atomic motor.00:27:27
- No, I didn't.00:27:29
I left it to you to do it.00:27:35
I radioed to you that the
control panel was out of order.00:27:39
Wasn't it cut out?00:27:41
- We didn't hear you.00:27:43
We'd already lost contact.00:27:45
- So we've launched a missile
into outer space, then.00:27:49
Loaded full of potential death.00:28:02
(dramatic music)00:28:08
Three years of hard grinding
and what's the result?00:28:10
Great black letters a mile
high announcing I'm a failure.00:28:15
- John, no one could
help what happened.00:28:18
Just for a while, can't
you try and forget it?00:28:21
Only two days now, and
we'll be home again.00:28:25
At last we'll be able to
spend a little time together,00:28:29
make up to Dennis a little
of the fun he's missed.00:28:33
- When does the plane
leave for New York?00:28:37
- Tomorrow evening at
seven from Melbourne.00:28:39
- Hm.00:28:40
We'll have to be up early.00:28:42
It's a half day's
drive from here.00:28:50
- Gee, I've made it,
I've made it, pop!00:28:51
- You can't count that.00:28:53
The boomerang should've
whizzed right back to you.00:28:55
- But it wouldn't, no sir,00:28:56
not even when I tied
an elastic to it.00:28:59
(phone ringing)00:29:08
- Yeah?00:29:09
- [Peter] Leduq here.00:29:10
Can you come over right away?00:29:11
- What's so urgent?00:29:12
- Vision's home office advised
us that Sputnik Beta's radar00:29:15
is transmitting a signal
we can't account for.00:29:17
- I shan't be long.00:29:19
Sorry, Mary, that was an
urgent call from Leduq.00:29:22
I'll probably have to work late.00:29:23
Now, don't wait up for me.00:29:27
- [Dennis] But we're
going home tomorrow.00:29:28
- Sure, son, we still are.00:29:30
- Mom, can you find
room for this, please?00:29:35
And this as well.00:29:37
(radar pulsing)00:29:46
- Listen to this.00:29:52
(radar pulsing)00:29:57
- A magnetic disturbance
might cause it.00:30:00
- No, I just can't
account for it.00:30:04
- Here comes our satellite.00:30:07
Its radar certainly
got hold of something.00:30:11
Here it is now on the screen,00:30:12
that little spot at
four five degrees.00:30:14
- And the other stations?00:30:15
- They're also
registering the track.00:30:17
It's exactly the same
signal from all of them,00:30:19
even the sputnik.00:30:21
- You don't think it
could be a nebula, Alex?00:30:22
- No.00:30:23
- Or the tail of a comet?00:30:28
- We have just finished
correlating the data00:30:29
received from the
other stations.00:30:31
- It all coincides.00:30:32
The echo's at four five degrees.00:30:33
It's obviously millions
of kilometers away.00:30:35
- It could be the X-Z.00:30:41
- I'm afraid somebody will
have to stay here all night.00:30:45
Stuart, how about you?00:30:46
- Sure.
- And you, Katie?00:30:47
You may have to make00:30:48
some more checks.
- Okay.00:30:50
- Can't say I'm keen on it,
but still, we'll do our best.00:30:51
- Good.00:30:53
By tomorrow, the situation
should be clearer.00:30:54
- All this data'll
need checking.00:30:55
- If you get any news, let me
know before I leave, will you?00:30:57
- Okay, John.00:30:59
- Goodnight.00:31:00
- See you tomorrow.00:31:01
- If I may make a suggestion,
Professor Weisser.00:31:03
As Stuart needs some rest,00:31:04
I thought that perhaps
I could do his duty.00:31:07
- A really noble-hearted friend.00:31:10
- No, not as noble
as you might think.00:31:11
You see, the heart
enters into it.00:31:14
- Ah well, I guess
you'd better stay, then.00:31:16
Okay, Stuart, come on.00:31:17
It might stop that yawning.00:31:24
- Hello, Geiger, what is it?00:31:26
- [Herbert] What's
the matter with him?00:31:28
- [Sergei] He sure looks
troubled, doesn't he?00:31:38
(suspenseful music)00:31:56
- I can't think what it is.00:32:00
- [Peter] It must be
a magnetic distortion.00:32:02
Better check the data.00:32:06
- Let's have it.00:32:07
I'll work it out.00:32:16
(romantic music)00:32:18
- And now a few minutes'
hard-earned rest.00:32:24
- Are you calculating the time?00:32:25
- Naturally.00:32:27
And making sure the moon
is in the best position.00:32:30
Know something?00:32:32
When you're not
immersed in mathematics,00:32:34
Katie, the metamorphosis
is staggering.00:32:38
I can't imagine why you
ever chose this career.00:32:41
- I think fate decreed
I'd become a mathematician00:32:44
having this encounter in mind.00:32:46
- But seriously,
since I met you,00:32:49
I can think of no one else.00:32:52
- Destiny sure plays odd tricks.00:33:07
Well, has the ice thawed
a little, do you think?00:33:09
- The melting point's
certainly risen.00:33:11
- All gamblers take a
risk when they make a bet.00:33:13
- You knew about it?00:33:14
- You wanted to win, didn't you?00:33:15
Okay, so you won, smart guy.00:33:16
Now get out and leave me alone.00:33:19
- I'm sorry, Katie. I hadn't any idea.00:33:22
- Okay, Peter.00:33:24
I'd be glad if you'd just
forget the whole thing.00:33:25
- [Broadcaster]
Here's a news flash.00:33:26
Extraordinary phenomena00:33:28
has been reported
from many countries.00:33:29
Large herds of animals are
abandoning the coastal regions00:33:32
and making their
way to the interior00:33:34
in a colossal and
surprising migration,00:33:36
which hour by hour assumes
ever more alarming proportions.00:33:40
We are informed that
out-of-season migrations00:33:42
of this magnitude have
never before been recorded.00:33:45
It appears that this
unease is affecting00:33:47
not only the wild
animal population,00:33:49
it has also been
reported from zoos00:33:51
and owners of
domesticated animals.00:33:53
Authorities agree the
animals' acute instinct00:33:55
has evidently sensed
an indefinable menace,00:33:58
but discloses that the
causes of this phenomenon00:34:00
are for the moment unknown00:34:01
and therefore
- Hey, Geiger.00:34:02
cannot be explained.00:34:07
- [Peter] Base control at
Cape Shark receiving you.00:34:10
- [Radio Operator] Chelyabinsk
post number one two calling.00:34:12
We are picked up the arc
of the sputnik track.00:34:14
It comes from a point
at four four degrees.00:34:18
- [Peter] Repeat, please.00:34:19
- [Radio Operator]
Four four degrees.00:34:20
- Thank you, Chelyabinsk.00:34:23
It's moved away one degree.00:34:25
Yesterday it was at four five.00:34:34
(satellite beeping)00:34:56
This is base
control, Cape Shark.00:34:58
- [Radio Operator]
Sydney calling.00:35:00
Information from all
observatories now complete.00:35:01
Silver Island reports that
they registered yesterday00:35:04
at 11 hours 50 an atomic
explosion in Delta Zone.00:35:06
- The zone of the
Delta asteroids.00:35:08
- [Radio Operator]
At four five degrees.00:35:10
- Thank you, Sydney.00:35:11
That's something.00:35:13
Hello, Professor
Weisser, Leduq here.00:35:16
Sydney report that the
Silver Island observatory00:35:18
registered yesterday at 11
hours 50 an atomic explosion00:35:21
in the zone of the
Delta asteroids,00:35:22
from where we were
receiving the signal.00:35:25
- Weisser?00:35:26
Oh?00:35:28
How large?00:35:30
Have a word with the
astronomer, Carter.00:35:33
Okay.00:35:34
I'll be right over.00:35:36
Mary, I'm terribly sorry,
but I've got to stay.00:35:38
We'll have to put off
leaving for a few days.00:35:40
- Days or months, John?00:35:42
Where your work's concerned,
you never know the difference.00:35:45
I've had enough of
living in this desert.00:35:47
- I guess you're right, Mary,00:35:48
but it so happens that
whether you like it or not,00:35:50
I'm needed here.
- Maybe you are,00:35:51
but I still don't think
that gives you the right00:35:53
to neglect us for it.00:35:56
I can't take any
more of it, John.00:35:57
I don't think you realize00:35:58
what I went through
when you were lost.00:36:00
- This work's my life.00:36:01
I thought you'd
accepted that by now.00:36:03
- You mean, then, that
I'm to accept selfishness.00:36:06
After all, that's what
this inordinate concern00:36:08
for your work adds up to.00:36:12
Oh, John.00:36:13
You're impossible
to live with now.00:36:16
I'm taking Dennis home.00:36:17
- Do that.00:36:18
It'll be better
for the two of us.00:36:24
- The explosion took place
at exactly this spot.00:36:27
Near the point of orbit here00:36:29
of the group of Delta asteroids.00:36:31
- I don't think
there's any doubt00:36:32
that the X-Z caused
the explosion.00:36:34
Look, I went off course
about here in this direction.00:36:37
And here at four five degrees00:36:39
is where they registered
the explosion.00:36:41
Now, it's from that spot
we're getting the echo.00:36:43
The two facts are
obviously related.00:36:45
- At midnight, however, the
echo came at four four degrees.00:36:48
And then four three
degrees, four one,00:36:50
and about 10 minutes ago,
Copenhagen reported it00:36:53
three nine point one two.00:36:54
- In which case the echo
must come from a moving mass.00:36:58
(equipment beeping)00:37:55
(car engine running)00:38:08
- Mom, are we going to be
away from Pop very long?00:38:14
- Oh, maybe he'll catch us up.00:38:16
- When, though?00:38:19
- We hope it'll be soon.00:38:20
- The remarkable revelations
made by Professor Weisser00:38:23
have caused much comment
in international circles.00:38:26
For the first time,00:38:27
a discovery in the
cosmos is due to radar.00:38:29
The observatory at Hula
is now trying to identify00:38:31
this mysterious object in space.00:38:35
Furthermore, the government
is extremely worried00:38:37
by the continued reports
of strange phenomena.00:38:41
In New York and other
places on the East Coast,00:38:44
hundreds of people
have witnessed00:38:45
a singularly strange mirage.00:38:48
A large sphere surrounded
by a gigantic halo00:38:51
has appeared in the sky,00:38:52
disappearing only at
the approach of sundown.00:38:55
Other extraordinary phenomena00:38:57
are reported from
several European cities.00:38:59
Mysterious balls of
light have been appearing00:39:01
in various parts of the sky.00:39:04
The exact explanation of these
phenomena is not yet known,00:39:07
but it is generally
thought by men of science00:39:09
that they are in
some way the result00:39:11
of recent experiments
in space travel.00:39:13
The latest information on
the extraordinary migration00:39:16
of animals confirms that
this great exodus continues.00:39:20
Observers in the arctic regions00:39:22
report that birds
are migrating south00:39:24
two months ahead of
their usual time.00:39:26
It's an extraordinary fact
that all these movements00:39:29
have their beginnings
in the coastal regions.00:39:32
Taking this into account,
it has been suggested00:39:34
that the fear exhibited
by the animals00:39:36
could be indicative of
imminent marine disturbances,00:39:40
such as tidal waves and floods.00:39:42
From the intensity of
the animals' flight,00:39:44
now reflected all
over the world,00:39:46
the mysterious peril would
appear to be very near.00:39:55
(reporters clamoring)00:40:00
- That's enough, boys.00:40:01
Right now I have nothing to day.00:40:02
You'll just have to be patient.00:40:04
As soon as we have news,
we'll issue a communique.00:40:06
(reporters clamoring)00:40:17
Leduq, any news in
yet from Mount Hula?00:40:20
- No, not yet, sir.00:40:21
We've been calling
them all morning.00:40:22
They're setting controls, sir.00:40:24
- Here's the data on
the magnetism, Katie.00:40:26
- Good.
- Get it on the computer.00:40:27
- I'll see to it.00:40:29
- Hello, Cape Shark base
control calling Mount Hula.00:40:30
Hello, hello, Mount Hula.00:40:32
Come in, Mount Hula.00:40:33
- Any news?00:40:34
- We haven't been able
to make contact yet,00:40:36
due to a strong
magnetic disturbance.00:40:37
- [Van Dorff] Keep on trying
until they answer you.00:40:38
- Come in.00:40:39
- I think something
serious is going to happen.00:40:41
- Then don't think,00:40:42
because our instruments
aren't registering00:40:43
any alarming phenomena yet.00:40:44
- You've seen the way
the animals are behaving.00:40:46
Their instincts are more
sensitive than our instruments.00:40:49
Last night, Geiger disappeared.00:40:51
- Let's have a look
at the magnetism.00:40:53
- Calling Mount
Hula observatory.00:40:55
Hello.00:40:56
- Miss Dandridge.00:40:58
Are you through checking yet?00:40:59
- Sure, hold on while
I tell you, McLaren.00:41:01
The index of magnetism is
showing a constant pull.00:41:03
Right now the indicator
has dropped to minus four.00:41:06
- Minus four?00:41:08
I can't believe it.00:41:10
It seems like this
thing in space00:41:11
is absorbing all the
Earth's magnetism.00:41:14
- The observatory's on the line.00:41:16
- At last.00:41:17
- They're asking us
to cut out our link00:41:19
with the other stations
and to close the circuit.00:41:23
- Greenwood, Peterson,
leave us alone, will you?00:41:30
Leduq, see that all
junior staff are warned.00:41:32
No one's to come in.00:41:38
Close the circuit.00:41:40
- Circuit closed.00:41:42
- Orders are not
to let anyone pass.00:41:44
No one's to come in.00:41:56
- Hello, control calling.00:41:57
Hello, control calling.00:41:58
- The guards are posted.00:41:59
- Right, go ahead, Stuart.00:42:01
- Hello, hello, Mount Hula.00:42:03
Cape Shark calling.00:42:04
- Mount Hula here,
receiving you.00:42:06
Hello, Cape Shark.00:42:07
Are you on a closed circuit?00:42:08
- Yes, Mount Hula,
you may go ahead.00:42:10
- [Harrowsmith]
Is Weisser there?00:42:12
- Harrowsmith?00:42:13
- [Harrowsmith] Are
you alone, Weisser?00:42:14
- I am with my colleagues.00:42:16
You can talk.00:42:17
- We've been able to locate
the source of the echo.00:42:19
- Well?00:42:20
- [Harrowmsith] It comes from
the mass of Delta asteroids.00:42:22
The explosion of
X-Zed's atomic charge00:42:24
has driven them out of orbit.00:42:25
They've become attracted
one to another,00:42:27
forming a single mass which
is now wandering in space.00:42:30
- Direction?00:42:31
- [Harrowsmith]
Towards the Earth.00:42:33
From our first calculation
the mass of asteroids00:42:35
will enter the Earth's
gravitational field00:42:37
in about five days' time.00:42:38
- A bombardment of meteorites?00:42:41
- Does anyone else
know this yet?00:42:43
- [Harrowsmith] No. We are
awaiting your instructions.00:42:45
- Make sure it stays top secret.00:42:46
If it leaks out,
there'll be chaos.00:42:48
- [Harrowsmith]
We understand you.00:42:50
- We must inform the security
council of the United Nations.00:42:52
As from now, I'm declaring
a state of emergency.00:42:55
No one must leave the base
without my personal authority.00:42:57
All radio communications
will be made in code.00:43:00
- [Switchboard Operator]
Switchboard, switchboard.00:43:01
An urgent call to Washington.00:43:03
- [Sergei] Stuart,
call New York base.00:43:05
- Get me the airport.00:43:06
It's most urgent.00:43:07
- [Switchboard
Operator] Hello, hello?00:43:09
- [Switchboard Operator] Hello,
hello, yes, hold the line.00:43:10
- [Switchboard
Operator] Hello, hello,00:43:11
headquarters speaking.00:43:12
- [Switchboard Operator]
Hello, New York?00:43:13
- Hold the line, please.
- It's engaged.00:43:14
Will you hold on?00:43:15
- Airport on the line.00:43:16
- Put me through to departures.00:43:17
- [Airline Employee] Departures.00:43:18
- Today's plane to New York.00:43:19
Has it left there yet?00:43:20
- [Airline Employee]
Just a moment, please.00:43:22
It has been airborne
about one minute, sir.00:43:26
- Thanks.00:43:28
(plane engine roaring)00:43:41
(suspenseful music)00:43:58
- The latest observations have
revealed that these asteroids00:44:01
have a diameter in
excess of 10 kilometers.00:44:04
They may be compared
to diminutive planets,00:44:06
together weighing
millions of tons.00:44:08
That they are being drawn
towards the Earth's surface00:44:10
in a single mass
is of course due00:44:12
to their strong
metallic attraction.00:44:15
This explains the
extraordinarily heavy fall00:44:17
in the Earth's magnetism.00:44:19
Therefore, a collision with
the air surrounding the Earth00:44:22
is not great enough to
destroy the meteors.00:44:23
It will increase their velocity.00:44:27
When they fall on our planet
there is little probability00:44:30
of it being able to
withstand the impact.00:44:33
There will be
fiery thunderbolts.00:44:37
(crowd murmuring)00:44:42
To give you a precise idea00:44:43
of what the result of the
fall of one meteor could be,00:44:46
here is a very
instructive picture.00:44:48
It shows the great crater
made by a thunderbolt00:44:50
falling at Tunguska
in Siberia in 1908.00:44:54
It is many kilometers
in diameter.00:44:56
The size of that meteor
was insignificant00:44:58
when compared with the
cluster of asteroids00:45:00
a million times greater
now rushing towards us.00:45:05
(crowd murmuring)00:45:11
- Here's the latest data
transmitted by Mount Hula.00:45:13
I've checked it
on our calculator.00:45:14
- Ah, thanks.00:45:20
Gentlemen, I've just been
handed the latest report00:45:22
from the Mount Hula observatory.00:45:24
Their calculations on the
trajectory of the meteors00:45:26
leads us to believe
that it is possible00:45:29
that before striking the Earth,00:45:30
they will have to
traverse the moon.00:45:32
- If I understand correctly,00:45:34
the moon will
intercept the meteors?00:45:35
- Precisely.00:45:37
Its attraction may well
disintegrate the cluster,00:45:39
and the asteroids would
be dispersed into space.00:45:41
- A miracle.00:45:43
- No, you have my apologies
if that is what I implied.00:45:46
I thought to infer,
rather, reason to hope.00:45:48
- By all means, let us hope,00:45:49
since it seems to be the
only expedient left to us.00:45:52
However, let us not
lose sight of the fact00:45:54
that even were the moon
to be only sightly grazed,00:45:57
the Earth will still
feel a repercussion.00:45:59
I fear as a result
the Earth's magnetism00:46:01
would become distorted
and, presupposing this,00:46:04
then enormous tidal waves will
submerge all coastal regions.00:46:08
- Then those regions
must be evacuated.00:46:09
And we have three days to do it.00:46:12
Objections?00:46:14
Thank you, that is all.00:46:17
(crowd murmuring)00:46:22
- The armed forces will take
charge of the evacuation.00:46:23
They will requisition whatever
transport is necessary.00:46:26
Do you agree, Krasnov?00:46:27
- Agreed, Dimbleton.00:46:28
They must be given
absolute priority.00:46:30
- I suggest that the communique
on the proposed evacuation00:46:33
is issued as soon as we're
in control of the situation.00:46:35
- Agreed.00:46:50
- Mary and Dennis.00:46:51
I shouldn't have let 'em go.00:46:56
- Sorry, John.00:47:04
- [Announcer]
Attention, attention,00:47:06
all staff please go immediately00:47:08
to the nearest radio
or television receiver.00:47:11
- Attention, please.00:47:12
We are interrupting this program00:47:14
to broadcast a
special communique.00:47:17
The armed forces
have been entrusted00:47:19
with the task of
maintaining law and order.00:47:21
A state of emergency was
proclaimed at 12 noon today.00:47:25
(speaking foreign language)00:47:37
(speaking foreign language)00:47:41
- [Broadcaster] They will
reach and destroy our planet.00:47:44
An international
committee of scientists00:47:46
assisted by the United
Nations has assumed control.00:47:50
(jeep engine running)00:47:53
- All coastal regions
will be evacuated at once.00:47:56
I repeat, at once.00:47:58
There isn't a moment to be lost.00:47:59
The sea will flood
the hinterland00:48:01
for hundreds of kilometers.00:48:03
- Dimbleton here.00:48:04
Listen, you're to start
evacuation of the West Coast.00:48:06
Requisition whatever
transport you need.00:48:08
That's all.00:48:09
Any news?00:48:10
- Holland does not
find anything so easy.00:48:12
It means a total
evacuation in her case.00:48:19
- [Announcer]
Attention, attention.00:48:21
All roads must be kept
clear for refugee convoys.00:48:24
Panic is the enemy of safety.00:48:27
Disorder will be suppressed

Disorder will be suppressed
with the utmost severity.00:48:35
Attention, attention.00:48:36
You are warned not to panic.00:48:39
You will await your turn
in an orderly manner.00:48:43
There is no need for panic.00:48:45
Everyone will be evacuated.00:49:03

Will Professor McLaren
go to General Dimbleton?00:49:36
- [MP] Professor,
you've forgotten to
give me your reports.00:49:39
- Oh yeah.00:49:41
- [Radio Operator] To

The meteorites are now00:49:52
1,800,000 kilometers away.
- Here's the position.00:49:54
The cluster of meteors should
cross the path of the moon00:49:56
tomorrow at about 22
hours, four zero minutes.00:49:59
- Let's hope it will
disintegrate them.00:50:01
- If not, when is zero hour?00:50:03
- About six hours later.00:50:06
- [Radio Operator]
Approximate hour of contact00:50:07
minus 37 hours,
four zero minutes.00:50:10
Repeat, approximate
hour of contact00:50:12
minus 37 hours,
four zero minutes.00:50:17
- The end is not far off.00:50:19
- We're responsible
for this catastrophe.00:50:21
- That we are is purely
accidental, my friend.00:50:24
- But this time it involves
the whole of humanity.00:50:28
Maybe there's a boundary
we are not allowed to pass.00:50:32
- Oh, we passed that
with the nuclear age.00:50:35
All we have left is
recourse to the Almighty.00:50:38
- You believe in God?00:50:40
- Is it surprising?00:50:42
I think most men
do to some extent.00:50:45
Depending on circumstances.00:50:49
(laughs)00:50:51
Your cocktail.00:50:53
But with the addition
of a little vodka.00:50:57
- Now, the base is in
this area on high ground,00:50:58
so we're out of the sea's reach.00:50:59
- Then the base will be
able to shelter evacuees.00:51:01
- Sure, the store tunnel
could possibly shelter00:51:03
around four or 5,000.
(phone ringing)00:51:04
- Route evacuees from
Streppa to this area.00:51:07
- Yes, Van Dorff here. Of course get on with it!00:51:09
You must evacuate the
entire coast by midnight!00:51:12
- [Officer] But there's
no more transport.00:51:13
And anyway, the roads
are choked with refugees.00:51:15
- Imperative to alert
air force stations00:51:17
and civil airports to stand by.00:51:18
Speed is vital, got that?00:51:20
(plane engines roaring)00:51:59
- [Announcer]
Attention, attention.00:52:01
Groups three, four, and
seven be ready to take off.00:52:04
Keep the runways clear and
maintain an orderly evacuation.00:52:14

Useless.00:52:34
- Hey, Katie, this
is no time to panic.00:52:36
- I can't take it anymore.00:52:39
- Listen, Katie.00:52:42
We need you around here.00:52:44
Why not have a rest?00:52:45
You'll feel a lot better.00:52:47
I'll take over.00:52:48
Go on.00:52:50
- But you haven't
slept a wink either.00:52:53

His wife's here!00:53:49
- [Herbert] He's with
General Dimbleton.00:53:50
Let him know, will you?00:53:57
- Mary!
- Herbert!00:53:59
- I'm so glad to see you here.00:54:00
- Where's John?
- They've gone to fetch him,00:54:02
but we thought you
were on the plane.00:54:03
- No, we didn't go.00:54:04
I decided to wait
at the airport,00:54:05
hoping that John would join us.00:54:07
But then we heard that
terrible communique,00:54:09
so I came back as
quickly as I could.00:54:11
Herbert, is there any hope?00:54:13
- [Announcer]
Attention, attention.00:54:15
All civilian personnel
will leave the base00:54:17
and proceed to the shelters.00:54:19

- Not long now, Mary,00:54:24
unless they disintegrate as
they cross the moon's path.00:54:28
- Mary!
- Oh, John!00:54:32
I'm sorry, I should
have waited here, John.00:54:34
- You were right to go.00:54:36
You see, I realized since just
how important you both are.00:54:38
- Oh.00:54:42

You'll have to go
to the shelters.00:54:53
Come on, I'll find
someone to take you there.00:54:54

- No, not yet.00:57:45
The image is still distorted.00:57:46
If the echo isn't picked
up within a few minutes,00:57:48
we can presume that
they have disintegrated.00:58:00

you here is guilty.00:58:40
This is the judgment.00:58:45
The day of wrath.00:58:47
There they are.00:58:49
It's all over!00:58:51

Randowsky, pull
yourself together!00:58:55
- It's your fault.00:58:56
Yes, your rocket has brought
destruction from outer space!00:59:01
Your blasted rocket was
just another missile,00:59:03
a destroyer like
the rest of them!00:59:05
- A missile.00:59:10
Herbert, Boetnikov,
it's not the end.00:59:13
I just had an idea.00:59:14
Randowsky's lunatic ravings
about missiles started it.00:59:17
The missiles can
be used to save us.00:59:19
Have every suitable rocket
throughout the world00:59:21
equipped with atomic warheads.00:59:23
Then launched to hit the
target at a given hour,00:59:25
they would disintegrate
the meteorites.00:59:27
- He's right, we must
start a computer program.00:59:29
- [Herbert] Can
we do it in time?00:59:30
- It must be done. It's the only chance there is.00:59:32
- Well, we'd better
get on with it.00:59:33
- Just one thing, McLaren.00:59:34
We'd let loose a flood
of radioactivity.00:59:36
- No, General, the only
chance is they'll make contact00:59:38
with the meteors before
they reach the atmosphere.00:59:40
- Yes, but have we
sufficient missiles?00:59:42
There are thousands of meteors.00:59:43
- And America has
thousands of missiles.00:59:46
As for Russia, she has,
oh, we can only guess.00:59:49
Can you tell us, Boetnikov?00:59:52
- Oh, probably twice
as many as America.00:59:55
- Okay, it's up to you. A
couple of hours is all you have00:59:58
to prepare firing
data for all bases.01:00:00
Do you think the
calculator can do it?01:00:01
- Of course, provided there's
no atmospheric disturbance.01:00:03
- Even so, it's vital that
the data is produced on time,01:00:05
whatever the cost.01:00:06
- Sure.01:00:08
- General, how much
time is required01:00:09
to alert the American bases?01:00:11
- Half an hour.01:00:12
- And the Russian?01:00:13
- Less.01:00:14

- The thermometer's
still rising.01:03:04
- If it stops the calculator,
then we're finished.01:03:09
- Sure, I'll pass it on.01:03:10
London's just reported an
increase in ground temperatures01:03:12
taking place

I don't know what to do!01:04:12
- [Peter] Leave it to me.01:04:13
Set the air conditioner
at 10 below zero.01:04:15
If that isn't sufficient,
push it to maximum.01:04:21
(radar pulsing)01:04:24
- Leduq.01:04:25
Leduq, is the calculator
still working?01:04:27
- [Peter] It is, for the moment.01:04:29
The air conditioning's
neutralized the
rise in temperature.01:04:32
