The year is 2006; America has released a nuclear bomb on Taiwan leaving only Australia in its wake. A small crew aboard a U.S. Navy submarine led by Commander Dwight Towers (Assante) manages to surviv...( read more  read more... )e the devastating blast, but it isn't long before they're forced to place the vessel under the Australian government's command. They're assigned a life threatening task; to enter radioactive waters and find an insane scientist (Brown) who's been in solitude while waiting for what he believes to be the final "end." Before the mission begins, the commander meets the scientist's beautiful ex-fiancée (Ward), to whom he immediately takes a liking. A romantic liaison ensues, but the mission at hand threatens their love, and the lives of the entire crew. A remake of the 1959 classic based on the novel by Nevil Shute.

    Remake of the old film.. hmm gets sad at the end which this is one of the films where all hope fails, A lot of things form the old movie in some of the scenes, but this film has more of the submarine, ok I guess

    This TV movie remake is absolutely sci-fi and better than the 1959 film with more story. Both the acting and the production are excellent.

Frightfully real, this story is a grim depiction of what could be our future one day. This movie makes you worried... Where would you prefer to be when the bomb ...( read more)explodes?
