In 1964, atomic war wipes out humanity in the northern hemisphere; one American submarine finds temporary safe haven in Australia, where life-as-usual covers growing despair. In denial about the loss of his wife and children in the holocaust, American Captain Towers meets careworn but gorgeous Moira Davidson, who begins to fall for him. The sub returns after reconnaissance a month (or less) before the end; will Towers and Moira find comfort with each other?
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'On the Beach' is a post-apocalyptic science fiction drama centered on the imminent end of humanity. There is no evidence that the setting, plot, themes, iconography, or resolution are related to Christmas whatsoever, despite its release during the holiday season."
