A high-stakes 1960s disaster film where scientific hubris triggers an apocalyptic threat to Earth itself, balancing technical spectacle with existential dread.
Dr. Steven Sorenson plans to tap the geothermal energy of the Earth's interior by means of a thermonuclear device detonated deep within the Earth. This experiment causes a crack to form and grow within the Earth's crust, which threatens to split the earth in two if it is not stopped in time.
