A Cold War-era disaster film that uses journalistic investigation and apocalyptic stakes to explore humanity's capacity for self-destruction and the fragility of civilization.

Hysterical panic has engulfed the world after the United States and the Soviet Union simultaneously detonate nuclear devices and have caused the orbit of the Earth to alter, sending it hurtling towards the sun.
