After the entire Northern Hemisphere is destroyed by a nuclear war, a group of survivors in Australia prepare for their own inevitable demise. As a deadly cloud of radiation creeps toward the continent, some survivors cling to hopes that life as they know it has continued somewhere, hopes that are fed by the discovery of a mysterious, erratic radio signal emanating from San Diego. Others, such as Astaire`s sardonic, race-car driving physicist and Gardner`s world-weary, tippling party girl, throw their energies into squeezing the last drops from their lives. A grim, unflinching clarion call for sanity that inches along at a maddeningly deliberate and suspenseful pace. Based on the novel by Nevil Shute. Academy Award Nominations: 2, Best Editing (Frederic Knudtson) and Best Score (Ernest Gold).

"Das letzte Ufer" ist dem aktuellen - jedoch sehr misslungenem - Kinofilm "The Day after tomorrow" meilenweit voraus!! In diesem Film hier wissen alle das die letzte Stunde bald geschlagen hat und versuchen noch das Beste daraus zu machen. In "DaT" kann man sich ja vor der hereinbrechenden Eiszeit über die Landesgrenze in "Sicherheit" bringen.....
