English Summary:
In early 1964 (five years in the future), in the months following World War III, the conflict has devastated the Northern Hemisphere, killing all humans after polluting the atmosphere with nuclear fallout. Air currents are slowly carrying the fallout south; the only areas still habitable are in the far reaches of the Southern Hemisphere.
Australian survivors detect an incomprehensible Morse code signal coming from the presumed dead West Coast of the United States. The American nuclear submarine, USS Sawfish, now under Royal Australian Navy command, is ordered to sail north and make contact with the sender of the Morse signal. The submarine is commanded by Capt Dwight Towers (Gregory Peck), who leaves behind a new friend, the alcoholic Moira Davidson (Ava Gardner).
Hungarian Summary:
Egy szörnyű nukleáris háború mindent elsöpör a Föld színéről. Az egyetlen reményt egy nukleáris tengeralattjáró megtalálása jelentené, amellyel az emberek északra mehetnének, ahol még lehetséges a túlélés...
