About this product

Product Information

When the Americans test a nuclear weapon at the South Pole at the exact moment that the Soviets are testing their own weapon at the North, the earth's axis is jolted out of alignment, causing catastrophic changes in global weather patterns. Additionally, the earth has been dislodged from its orbit, and is now hurtling towards the sun. It's a race against time as the world prepares for additional nuclear detonations which could restore life as we know it. This classic piece of British science fiction won a British Academy Award for Best Screenplay and has been completely restored by Anchor Bay, including tinted sequences not seen since the movie's original theatrical release in 1961.

  • The Day the Earth Caught Fire 1961-2015

    I first saw this movie when it first came out. I was in 6th grade & the Cold War was a terrifying fact of life The movie scared me then & has lost very little of its effect 50+ years later. Be it the idea, the set design, the characters, the ever sharp stiff upper lip witty Noel Cowardian dialogue and the ending it is still at full power. The science maybe totally out of whack but the new way more sophisticated audience can think that the threat is global warming.

  • Brit Sci Fi classic.

    "DTECF" is an overlooked Sci-Fi classic. Well acted, with sharp intelligent dialogue.
