Do rediscovered ‘lost’ movies always disappoint? This Depression-era pre-Code science fiction disaster thriller was unique in its day, and its outrageously ambitious special effects –New York City is tossed into a blender — were considered the state of the art. Sidney Blackmer and a fetching Peggy Shannon fight off rapacious gangs in what may be the first post-apocalyptic survival thriller.

Director: Charles Barton.
Writers: Val Burton, Walter DeLeon and Bradford Ropes.
Cast: Marjorie Reynolds, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello
