I watched recently the remake of "On the Beach". As with the original, it delt with a nuclear war and the associated radiation that was slowly blanketing the earth and killing all in its wake. In this film, Australia was the "final frontier" where the radiation was to arrive in about 2 months. The peoples of this country were offered a state sanctioned "suicide kit" to forestall the inevitable.
Also in the film, was an American submarine and crew hoping to locate a place where the radiation was at "livable" levels. Alas the sub crew found no such place and the film focused on the remains of the world population (in Australia) and what they would do in their remaining weeks of life. All the people were well aware of their impending doom and the inability to escape this doom.
Were the shoes of these peoples be on your feet, what would you do?
PS. The original film was better but the remake was more indepth. Both were great films and I recommend them to anyone.
