Sunday
Part of the Uncanny Film Club, directed by Val Guest. The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961). Rated PG.
A cult classic apocalyptic film of its era, this British sci-fi disaster film focuses on a series of US and Russian nuclear explosions that have drastically altered the earth’s rotation. A sixty year old film that remains one of the best at how the world is reacting, and media are communicating, in the countdown to currently unfolding worldwide events.
