British reporters suspect an international cover-up of a global disaster in progress... and they're right.

One of those movies that only work if you can accept a physically impossible premiss required to make the movie work. Well, if you can, the movie is entertaining.

Quite well done, but everyone was simply over-over-acting. The plight of man into the fiery days of the future, as a result of war. All the aspects of society breaking down are shown quiet well here, with bits of stock photography, archived footage.
