What On the Beach is

A doomsday parable where the end of the world runs on fumes and stiff upper lips. An American submarine crew lands in Australia after nuclear war wipes out the northern hemisphere, met by locals clinging to normalcy as deadly radiation drifts south. The film’s idea of emotional climax involves a game of golf.
