Genre: Sci-Fi Director: Val Guest   Cast: Janet Munro, Leo McKern, Edward Judd, Michael Goodliffe, Bernard Braden, Reginald Beckwith, Gene Anderson, Arthur Christiansen, Austin Trevor, Renee Asherson   The worst fears of the Cold War are realized when both the U.S. and the Soviet Union detonate nuclear devices at the same time.
