Product description

Dr. Stephen Sorensen (Dana Andrews, The Satan Bug) and his wife and fellow scientist Dr. Maggie Sorensen (Janette Scott, The Day of the Triffids) plan to utilize the geothermal energy of the Earth¡¯s interior by detonating a powerful thermonuclear device deep within the Earth¡¯s core. Despite warnings from Maggie¡¯s ex-flame Dr. Ted Rampion (Kieron Moore, Arabesque), Dr. Sorensen proceeds with the experiment after he secretly learns that he is terminally ill. This experiment uses a crack within the Earth's crust and threatens to split the Earth in two if it is not stopped in time! Heralding the boom of ¡°disaster movies¡± in the 1970s like Airport and Earthquake, this rippingly entertaining ¡¯60s sci-fi adventure will shake you to the very core!

    Really enjoyed this Blu-Ray. Have not seen this movie since the 70's. (when it played during a night "Scream Fest) I was hoping that I still had the same opinion on the movie (one of my Sci-fi/Act flicks of all time). As soon as it arrived, I began watching it. My opinion has not changed. I really enjoyed this movie, especially on Blu-Ray. For a "50 year old movie" the picture quality was quite good. Now, as far as the movie itself, well, it was somewhat a bit "dated". (Special effects, that is.) Not that there is anything wrong with that at all. I love sci-fi films from that era. Overall, I am pleased with this purchase. There is another sci-fi movie that I am looking for which was released around the same time...."The Lost Missile", starring Robert Loggia. I don't think it was released on DVD, at least not in North America. Anyway, I am glad I finally have this favorite of mine from yesteryear.

    Fabulous show in the old school sci-fi style. The special effects for the time were not bad, considering and the story is good, even by todays standards. Would like to see a blu-ray version out at some point...

    5.0 out of 5 stars It could happen...?
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 5, 2025

    This is a great old fashioned disaster movie. The premise is quite relevant to these days, a scientist thinks he can get free energy from the core of the Earth, so he then sets off a big bomb which in turn starts lots of earthquakes around the world which could in theory split the world in half. Is this film hokey? Of course it is, but it is great fun. Do they stop the world from splitting in half...you will have to watch the film!

    This is the movie from the 50s that holds up well even today. The acting, production, special effects, or just a few of the exceptional parts of the movie. The storyline is gripping about an error in judgment, which causes a crack that starts to spread and could destroy the Earth.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant 60's Sci-Fi 'B' movie, if you persist.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 12, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Although this is what can only be called a low budget "B" movie from the 60's with a silly plot, it is quaintly entertaining and watchable with reasonable though not exceptional acting from some (for the period) famous names and fairly watchable special effects for it's time.

    The plot is hardly intellectualy challenging and revolves around the quest for free thermal energy from the earth's magma core. Only one lone scientist sees the possible dangers and attempts to halt the experiment conceived by a dying project manager determined to go down in history. When a nuclear warhead is used to punch through a drill-breaking layer the resulting explosion cracks the mantle and this gradually creeps around the world despite all efforts of the main character and his love interest to put a firebreak in it's path. Eventually though the crack goes full circle and rips a chunk out of the earth's surface and... well, you will have to watch it won't you!

    If one grew up, as my brother and I did, in the pre-Star Wars/Jurassic Park era then this film comes pretty high in the entertainment stakes and even now is a fine distraction despite it's vintage. Absolutely no 'stop-motion' and what few models there are would be recognisable to fans of Gerry Anderson.

    Unfortunately - and for some inexplicable reason - this film follows in the steps of Monte Carlo or Bust (USA-Those Jolly Young Men In Their Jaunty Jalopies) in that it is ONLY available in America(?) Anyway, I would have given this DVD 5 stars as it's so watchable despite it's age but must bring it down to 4. Whilst I can forgive it being region 1 only I must bring it down 1 star for being in such a peculiar format that on some DVD players you may find it 'stutters' as though there are missing frames. I found this most obvious if played on a computer.

    A worthy addition to any dedicated classic sci-fi fans collection.
