The Atomic Cloud

1954 · 1h 22m · Science Fiction

IMDb 4.8

Skip it. A 4.8 IMDb score is a red flag, and this oddball premise about a peace-spreading clay cloud sounds more awkwardly preachy than entertaining. Even its meta-commentary on the film-within-a-film can't salvage what sounds like a clunky, self-indulgent mess.

Plot

Two journalists drop by the Waterloo studios, where a director shows them a rough cut of a pacifist film. In it, a botched atomic test in Belgium creates a clay cloud that spreads world peace, causing stock markets to crash and weapons manufacturers to lose their jobs.The journalists roast the movie for being unrealistic, but the director defends it as a wake-up call to maintain peace. Afterward, they tour the studios, giving a cool look behind the scenes.
