Directed by Stanley Kramer, On the Beach (1959) is a post-apocalyptic drama set in Australia after a global nuclear war has wiped out most of humanity. Starring Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner, the film follows the final survivors as they await the arrival of deadly radioactive fallout drifting south across the planet. Based on the novel by Nevil Shute, the story explores mortality, emotional denial and human dignity in the face of inevitable extinction.

After World War III is over, all life in the northern hemisphere is wiped out. Only the inhabitants of Australia, along with the crew of the US submarine Sawfish, survive. But when the Sawfish goes on an exploratory journey to assess the atmosphere, it soon becomes apparent that the end is near for everyone.

Acclaimed Hollywood film-maker Stanley Kramer (Inherit the Wind, Judgement at Nuremberg) directs an all-star cast which includes Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner and Fred Astaire, along with Anthony Perkins and Donna Anderson as the young parents who must make a terrible decision, in one the most powerful films of all time.
