The Day the Sky Exploded (1958)


Excelsior Pictures
Directed by Paolo Heusch
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4

A malfunctioning, atomic powered rocket is abandoned in space. It later explodes in the asteroid belt, sending them on a deadly collision course with Earth. Luckily, the moon passes in front of most of them, but still some get through. Can a last minute plan to launch every nuclear missile on the planet save us? Early Italian sci-fi outing has too much stock footage to take its anti-nuclear message seriously.
