What The Quiet Earth is

Waikato, New Zealand + dawn + a ringing telephone. A scientist awakens to find humanity vanished. Cars crash unmanned; the skies are silent. He searches for answers and others, confronting the awful truth of his solitude. An eerie end-of-days thriller echoing Cold War anxieties.
