Video Description
Originally released in the fifties during the atomic decade,
Day The World Ended tells the story of what happened when man finally destroys himself in a nuclear holocaust. Only 7 people survive the blast including a rancher and his beautiful daughter, an arrogant thug and his striptease dancer girlfriend, a gold hunter and his donkey and a handsome geologist carrying a contaminated man. The fate of the human race lies in the hands of this unique crowd as they battle against the new mutated world.
Samuel Z. Arkoff started producing movies with his partner James Nicholson in 1954 when they set up American International Pictures and capitalised on the trend of teenagers being the main cinema audience of the time. This classic b-movie follows the survivors as tensions flare over the meagre rations and ranchers daughter, as the geologist and thug fight it out to carry on the human race with the stunning girl much to the disgust of her atomically altered fiancé - the mutant monster. Who is watching the girls bathe? Will the rancher get his wish to shoot the thug? Will they all survive? Will the contaminated man get the meat, the red, raw, meat he desires? Find out in Day The World Ended!
Day The World Ended is directed by Roger Corman the King of the drive-in movie who had a firm belief that "the monster should always be bigger than the leading lady."
