Summary
Claude Rains, Wendell Corey, Christopher Plummer and Martin Brooks opened on Broadway as the principal occupants of a rocket returning from the first trip to the moon. As they approach the earth, a seizure of fear descends upon certain unnamed nations, and a vast atomic war erupts. Within an hour the war is over, and the world is destroyed. Written three years before the launching of the first space satellite.
