On the Beach Summary The War Is Over. Nobody Won. Only The Inhabitants Of Australia And The Men Of The Us Submarine Sawfish Have Escaped The Nuclear Destruction And Radiation. Captain Dwight Towers (gregory Peck) Takes The Sawfish On A Mission To See If An Approaching Radiation Cloud Has Weakened, But Returns With Grim News: The Cloud Is Lethal. With The Days And Hours Dwindling, Each Person Confronts The Grim Situation In His Or Her Own Way. One (fred Astaire) Realizes A Lifetime Grand Prix Ambition,another (ava Gardner) Reaches Out For A Chance At Love. The Final Chapter Of Human History Is Coming To A Close... From Acclaimed Director Stanley Kramer (the Defiant Ones, Inheritthe Wind) And Screenwriter John Paxton Comes This Spectacular Movie Landmarka Film Masterpiece With A Message That Will Resonate As Long As The World Has The Power To Self-destruct At Its Own Fingertips.

Stanley Kramer's 1959 antiwar movie looks like everything Kramer did: subtle as a car wreck but undeniably affecting. Gregory Peck plays a submarine commander looking for survivors in Australia after a nuclear holocaust. Ava Gardner is among them and, somewhat improbably under the circumstances, becomes his love interest. Fred Astaire and Anthony Perkins are among the characters awaiting death from the gradual spread of radiation from the north. One might scoff at Kramer's implicit finger-wagging about nuclear politics in this mad, mad, mad, mad world, but it is hard to stop watching this compelling drama all the same. --Tom Keogh
