In this Oscar-winning science fiction movie from producer George Pal, an impending collison with a runaway star signals the destruction of Earth! The government refuses to listen to scientists, but private industrialists finance the building of a spaceship which will carry a limited number of people to another planet to begin a new civilisation.

As doomsday approaches, they race against time and the panic of those who will be left behind. The potential pulverising impact of the collision, the massive tidal waves and devastating earthquakes, and the final cosmic smashup make a chilling panorama of disaster. The balance between human and planetary drama is excellently maintained as When Worlds Collide builds to its fascinating, unforgettable climax.
