When Worlds Collide
|
00:01:32 |
Needles in a heavenly haystack. |
00:01:36 |
There are more stars in the heavens |
00:01:42 |
Through telescopes, |
00:01:47 |
the infinitesimal corners |
00:01:50 |
seeking new discoveries, |
00:01:53 |
hoping to better understand |
00:01:57 |
observatories dedicated |
00:02:02 |
often are set in high and remote places. |
00:02:05 |
But there is none more remote |
00:02:10 |
in this part of south Africa. |
00:02:17 |
If our calculations prove to be correct |
00:02:20 |
this will be the most frightening discovery |
00:02:26 |
These two bodies have travelled almost |
00:02:35 |
- Is that Randall? |
00:02:38 |
Stanley, I want Randall |
00:02:41 |
The plates are ready, catalogued |
00:02:45 |
- Here are tonight's plates. |
00:02:47 |
I told Professor Hendron |
00:02:53 |
Paul, Stanley, it won't be necessary |
00:03:08 |
ZS, MAP, Dave Randall |
00:03:11 |
Cabin monoplane, |
00:03:16 |
Hello, Randall. This is Russ Curtis, |
00:03:20 |
Visibility fine. Take runway three. |
00:03:23 |
Approach from southwest at 500. |
00:03:25 |
There's a car waiting to take you |
00:03:32 |
Thank you, Mount Kenna Field! |
00:03:56 |
- Hello, Randall. |
00:03:58 |
You must have been held up. |
00:04:02 |
I had a friend's aunt |
00:04:06 |
- I'm Emery Bronson. |
00:04:09 |
- You've been well recommended. |
00:04:12 |
I understand all you want |
00:04:15 |
Did you bring your passport |
00:04:19 |
Yes. But who gets delivery ofwhat? |
00:04:21 |
Your recommendation said I could depend |
00:04:25 |
I don't care what you're doing. |
00:04:29 |
- and when I get paid. |
00:04:32 |
It's just that secrecy |
00:04:35 |
Fly to Lisbon, then take |
00:04:39 |
The delivery will be made to Dr Hendron |
00:04:43 |
Here are several poses of Dr Hendron. |
00:04:52 |
The delivery must be made |
00:04:55 |
- To Dr Hendron only. |
00:05:00 |
You'll require this for expenses. |
00:05:08 |
I'm supposed to get $1,500 plus expenses. |
00:05:11 |
Hendron will pay on delivery. |
00:05:14 |
Time is all that counts. |
00:05:18 |
With me, doctor, money always matters. |
00:05:21 |
Perhaps now. |
00:05:23 |
But the day may arrive |
00:05:26 |
Not to you, nor anyone. |
00:05:29 |
When that happens to me, |
00:05:38 |
Good luck, Randall. |
00:05:59 |
There was another radiogram |
00:06:02 |
Thank you. |
00:06:04 |
- I hope you're enjoying your trip. |
00:06:38 |
Honestly, the inspection takes longer |
00:06:41 |
I brought Clara a fewthings. |
00:06:44 |
50% duty? |
00:06:58 |
I think that's the man, |
00:07:01 |
I'll see. |
00:07:07 |
- David Randall? |
00:07:11 |
May I see your passport, please? |
00:07:15 |
Thank you. |
00:07:19 |
Fine. |
00:07:20 |
I'll handle this, Jim. |
00:07:23 |
That brown one over there. |
00:07:28 |
Right this way, please. |
00:07:33 |
- Here's your man. |
00:07:36 |
I'm Joyce Hendron, |
00:07:39 |
We're to go straight to the observatory. |
00:07:42 |
This is better than a motorcycle escort. |
00:07:44 |
You'll need a pass to get out |
00:07:49 |
- Thank you. |
00:07:51 |
Right this way, Mr Randall. |
00:07:53 |
Mr Randall. Mr Randall! |
00:07:58 |
Mr Randall, I'm Donovan |
00:08:01 |
- Some other time. |
00:08:04 |
Here's a cheque to your order. |
00:08:08 |
No thanks. |
00:08:24 |
I can't imagine how..The Sentinel.. |
00:08:28 |
But it's difficult to keep |
00:08:31 |
I'm glad you turned them down. |
00:08:34 |
You knowwhat it would mean if the public |
00:08:38 |
of course. |
00:08:40 |
We've been praying Dr Bronson is wrong - |
00:08:43 |
that these pictures will show |
00:08:49 |
Don't you find yourself wishing... |
00:08:54 |
No, it's better to know. |
00:08:58 |
I wish I had your courage. |
00:09:02 |
But I'm frightened. |
00:09:04 |
As frightened as all those people |
00:09:10 |
I haven't the courage |
00:09:29 |
Joyce! |
00:09:31 |
- I'm glad you waited for me. |
00:09:33 |
Tony, this is Mr Randall. |
00:09:35 |
- How are you? |
00:09:38 |
Alice, didn't my father know |
00:09:41 |
I told Alice not to bother him. |
00:09:43 |
He's in a meeting |
00:09:45 |
They'll want to see you right away. |
00:09:49 |
- You smoke? |
00:09:52 |
Have a south African one. |
00:09:58 |
You part of this deal, doctor? |
00:10:02 |
No, I confine my gazing |
00:10:06 |
I'm an MD. |
00:10:08 |
I gather you're not an astronomer either. |
00:10:11 |
I'm just a high-priced messenger boy |
00:10:14 |
who's beginning to doubt |
00:10:17 |
They should stick |
00:10:20 |
Astronomy is a very exact science. |
00:10:22 |
But when they say Doomsday is around |
00:10:26 |
Who's been telling you that? |
00:10:31 |
Mr Randall, come right this way. |
00:10:33 |
Hello, Tony, come along if you want to. |
00:10:36 |
- Please... |
00:10:38 |
I have people waiting. |
00:10:40 |
- I'm supposed to make sure. |
00:10:44 |
They check. |
00:10:50 |
Who told you that, about Doomsday? |
00:10:53 |
Why doc, I thought |
00:11:02 |
Put it on the desk, Randall, please. |
00:11:05 |
Thank you, dear. |
00:11:07 |
Dr Bronson said I would get $1,500... |
00:11:09 |
- I'll take care of it. |
00:11:13 |
Hold still, please. |
00:11:19 |
oh, thank you. |
00:11:30 |
Would you mind waiting in the anteroom? |
00:11:32 |
He knows all the details, Dad. |
00:11:34 |
Dr Bronson and I have no secrets. |
00:11:37 |
Has Bronson been at this study long? |
00:11:39 |
Two years. But I first heard |
00:11:43 |
He wanted me to check his findings. |
00:11:45 |
Give this data to DA. |
00:11:53 |
D for differential. A for analyser. |
00:11:56 |
Naturally. |
00:11:58 |
We'll check these through the viewer. |
00:12:00 |
- Dr Hendron, the key. |
00:12:26 |
Sometimes I wish I didn't know |
00:12:30 |
He rarely leaves any margin for error. |
00:12:36 |
This was Bronson's first discovery. |
00:12:38 |
Bellus, a star, a dozen times |
00:12:41 |
has been approaching earth |
00:12:44 |
Bronson's second discovery - |
00:12:47 |
Bronson named it Zyra |
00:12:51 |
it revolves around Bellus more rapidly |
00:12:54 |
than earth revolves around the sun. |
00:12:58 |
This is in the constellation of scorpio. |
00:13:02 |
Dr Frye, notice the position |
00:13:06 |
Yes, I see. |
00:13:16 |
But here again, Bellus and Zyra |
00:13:19 |
Just how fast they've been moving |
00:13:23 |
are among the mathematical problems |
00:13:26 |
by our differential analyser. |
00:13:36 |
Zyra is about the same size as our earth. |
00:13:39 |
Both these bodies are coming |
00:13:42 |
If Bronson's readings are correct, |
00:13:46 |
How far away are they? |
00:13:48 |
The calculator will be precise. |
00:13:51 |
Billion? Let people start worrying |
00:13:56 |
You've flown ships faster than sound. |
00:13:59 |
These bodies |
00:14:01 |
and could be here within one year. |
00:14:03 |
All this depends on Bronson being correct. |
00:14:06 |
The planet Zyra will pass close enough |
00:14:10 |
oceans will be torn from their depths. |
00:14:13 |
Tidal waves will sweep in from the coasts. |
00:14:16 |
There will be giant earthquakes. |
00:14:17 |
Handfuls of people may survive |
00:14:21 |
We'll make them. |
00:14:23 |
Whatever help my factories can give, |
00:14:27 |
It will be useless. Soon after, |
00:14:32 |
our world will end. |
00:14:47 |
There is no error. |
00:15:32 |
I always wanted to do this. |
00:15:49 |
It's funny. I keep thinking about |
00:15:52 |
He was a patient of mine |
00:15:55 |
one of those incurable cases. |
00:15:58 |
I used to wonder how he felt |
00:16:00 |
the day he asked me |
00:16:04 |
Now I think I know. |
00:16:16 |
- Joyce? |
00:16:18 |
Let's not put off getting married. |
00:16:21 |
There isn't any reason to wait, |
00:16:24 |
I promised Dad I'd wait. |
00:16:28 |
Your father will be the first to agree. |
00:16:36 |
We're entitled to be selfish |
00:16:39 |
I'd feel better if I talked to Dad first. |
00:16:42 |
He'll be home the day after tomorrow. |
00:16:49 |
- Dr Drake? |
00:16:51 |
There is a call for you from the hospital. |
00:16:53 |
Thank you. |
00:16:55 |
EXcuse me, I'll be right back. |
00:17:01 |
I never used to believe my mother's stories |
00:17:03 |
about Americans |
00:17:06 |
I thought she was boasting |
00:17:09 |
But this is proof of progress. |
00:17:17 |
Look, stargazer, |
00:17:20 |
How much is seven times $2.50? |
00:17:24 |
Real progress, $17.50 per bottle. |
00:17:27 |
- Tell me something, stargazer. |
00:17:30 |
You and the doctor going to get married? |
00:17:32 |
I don't know. |
00:17:34 |
Maybe you could tell me |
00:17:37 |
Why? |
00:17:38 |
I'd like to stop being |
00:17:44 |
Bronson gets in tomorrow. |
00:17:48 |
the day was coming when money |
00:17:53 |
May I trouble you for another light? |
00:17:56 |
Thank you, Madam. |
00:17:59 |
This is the day. Money to burn! |
00:18:36 |
I must ask one question |
00:18:43 |
I hope I have your confidence. |
00:18:45 |
You are satisfied there is no error |
00:18:50 |
and that all the facts are correct? |
00:18:53 |
Yes, sir. |
00:18:55 |
The effect ofZyra's passing |
00:18:58 |
on the afternoon of July 24th. |
00:19:08 |
What about the giant star, Bellus? |
00:19:11 |
Can the doctor tell us |
00:19:15 |
19 days later. |
00:19:17 |
Bellus will crush the earth |
00:19:26 |
This is not a publicity seeking campaign. |
00:19:29 |
We are aware that most of our |
00:19:33 |
But believing what we do, |
00:19:44 |
Therefore, I ask you, Dr Hendron, |
00:19:46 |
if it is with complete certainty |
00:19:49 |
that you say the world will end |
00:19:52 |
Precisely that, sir. |
00:20:07 |
There is a very remote possibility, |
00:20:11 |
The world will be destroyed, |
00:20:15 |
our world will end on August 12th, |
00:20:19 |
There is no margin for error in that. |
00:20:22 |
But we believe that Zyra |
00:20:25 |
We believe, |
00:20:27 |
that some form ofvegetation |
00:20:30 |
You are proposing |
00:20:33 |
and move to...Zyra? |
00:20:37 |
No, but we hope that with God's guidance, |
00:20:42 |
A 20th century Noah's ark. |
00:20:45 |
As many as can be built |
00:20:49 |
Eventually, as Zyra and Bellus |
00:20:52 |
even a layman will see the danger. |
00:20:54 |
As a train looms in the distance, |
00:20:58 |
With enough funds, labour and material, |
00:21:01 |
Dr Frye believes rockets can be built |
00:21:05 |
But eight months is very little time. |
00:21:08 |
only if work begins immediately |
00:21:12 |
If you wait until the danger is visible, |
00:21:16 |
Bellus and Zyra |
00:21:22 |
Dr Ottinger, |
00:21:26 |
Gentlemen, my colleagues, |
00:21:30 |
Professor of astronomy at Cornwall |
00:21:35 |
President of the International |
00:21:39 |
have examined |
00:21:42 |
submitted by Drs Hendron and Bronson. |
00:21:45 |
Our findings show |
00:21:50 |
No reason to spend billions of dollars |
00:21:53 |
to build spaceships |
00:21:57 |
Suppose they were built. |
00:22:00 |
Do either of you believe spaceships |
00:22:03 |
It is theoretically possible. |
00:22:06 |
I believe in theories. But when you say |
00:22:11 |
you are out of the realm of theory |
00:22:15 |
Even if the world were to end, |
00:22:18 |
would it be less unpleasant to die in space |
00:22:21 |
than here, on firm ground? |
00:22:24 |
The world will not end. |
00:22:26 |
Certainly, these new bodies |
00:22:29 |
Heavenly bodies frequently do. |
00:22:35 |
Predicting the end of the world |
00:22:37 |
is an annual crackpot event in our society. |
00:22:40 |
An attempt to corner |
00:22:43 |
But I did not expect a man |
00:22:47 |
to join this headline-hunting parade. |
00:23:03 |
Read all about it! |
00:23:07 |
End ofthe world just around the corner. |
00:23:11 |
Read all about it! |
00:23:34 |
Let's be thankful for small favours. |
00:23:37 |
The subcommittee didn't believe us. |
00:23:41 |
No one believes us. |
00:23:42 |
How will we interest |
00:23:46 |
I'll buy you a start on your ship! |
00:23:50 |
that I contributed to salvaging |
00:23:54 |
I'm older and richer than you are. |
00:23:57 |
I'll arrange the lease on a large camp - |
00:24:01 |
Between us, |
00:24:03 |
Wonderful, Spiro! |
00:24:06 |
I'll arrange the details |
00:24:11 |
Gentlemen. |
00:24:19 |
- Have you got a minute, Dad? |
00:24:23 |
We have an appointment |
00:24:25 |
Will he give you the money you need? |
00:24:28 |
I hope so. |
00:24:30 |
Tony's outside. |
00:24:32 |
- I'm sure he didn't come to see me. |
00:24:36 |
I don't blame him. |
00:24:41 |
I've liked Tony more than any other man. |
00:24:46 |
I was always sure |
00:24:50 |
There isn't time for uncertainty. |
00:24:54 |
Do you want to spend |
00:24:57 |
I wish I could answer. |
00:24:59 |
I suppose it really doesn't matter... |
00:25:04 |
- Not what you want? |
00:25:07 |
Dad, I'm so mixed up. |
00:25:12 |
Do I knowthis subject of your confusion? |
00:25:15 |
Dave Randall. |
00:25:20 |
I told myself I like being with him |
00:25:29 |
- Yes? |
00:25:31 |
Tell Dr Frye and send in Mr Stanton. |
00:25:35 |
You told me to answer the question. |
00:25:39 |
And give me two minutes |
00:25:43 |
to figure out an eXcuse |
00:25:46 |
Oh, thanks, Dad! Thanks! |
00:25:59 |
- Dr Hendron. |
00:26:01 |
- This is Dr Frye. |
00:26:04 |
Dr Frye is the dean |
00:26:07 |
All right, I'm here safe and sound. |
00:26:15 |
Will this Noah's ark |
00:26:18 |
In theory. on some engineers. |
00:26:21 |
Your observatory trustees, |
00:26:24 |
tell me you have an equipped camp |
00:26:29 |
- Millions! |
00:26:31 |
I'm just weighing the percentages. |
00:26:34 |
Your word against other astronomers. |
00:26:38 |
- They think you're a crackpot. |
00:26:44 |
- It will mean liquidating some interests. |
00:26:47 |
Their salvation doesn't interest me. |
00:26:50 |
I'm no humanitarian like Marston |
00:26:55 |
What are the chances of existence |
00:26:58 |
We don't know. |
00:27:02 |
- Millions for theories! |
00:27:05 |
If I thought it was, I wouldn't be here. |
00:27:11 |
- But I select who goes with us. |
00:27:16 |
There may be space for 40 human beings, |
00:27:20 |
The minimum for a new life. |
00:27:24 |
I reserve that privilege. |
00:27:27 |
You admit you don't relish dying. |
00:27:29 |
You're willing to put up the money |
00:27:33 |
you'll be among the few |
00:27:36 |
That makes my proposition simple. |
00:27:39 |
We'll do the picking together. |
00:27:43 |
Why not? Why should you be the one |
00:27:48 |
The proposition still stands. |
00:27:56 |
You know I can't refuse. Build it. |
00:28:19 |
You are the men selected. |
00:28:22 |
Gentlemen, |
00:28:27 |
Instead of taking off |
00:28:31 |
we will conserve fuel by using a mile-long |
00:28:36 |
The ship will be cradled |
00:28:40 |
which will be automatically released. |
00:28:42 |
At this point, |
00:28:45 |
The power of all engines |
00:28:48 |
out of earth's gravitational pull. |
00:28:52 |
until we reach |
00:28:55 |
when the ship will be operated |
00:28:58 |
Similar rocket ships are also being |
00:29:03 |
Now about our camp |
00:29:06 |
Dave Randall, who is assisting |
00:29:10 |
Thanks, Dr Frye. |
00:29:12 |
First, you were selected because you are |
00:29:18 |
Agricultural students and mechanics, |
00:29:21 |
The project needs you |
00:29:25 |
who are healthy and free |
00:29:28 |
There is no guarantee |
00:29:32 |
But those to make the flight |
00:29:35 |
sometime before the worlds collide. |
00:29:37 |
only about 40 persons can be taken |
00:29:40 |
and already more than 600 people |
00:30:34 |
Go down to the bunker first. |
00:30:52 |
Joyce Hendron, please. |
00:30:53 |
Take your new arrivals to dormitory C. |
00:31:01 |
- Got the cards for this group? |
00:31:04 |
- Are my cards ready? |
00:31:07 |
All right, fellas, this way. |
00:31:09 |
Thanks. I'll leave these at the clinic. |
00:31:12 |
Follow me, girls. |
00:31:14 |
Dr Frye, please, Dr Frye. |
00:31:17 |
There is a call for you |
00:31:21 |
Julie! |
00:31:27 |
See you later. |
00:31:29 |
Check in at the medical clinic |
00:31:33 |
Attention, new arrivals. |
00:31:35 |
Check in at the medical clinic |
00:31:44 |
Dr Bronson, please, |
00:32:17 |
Attention, main garage. |
00:32:19 |
Two jeeps are needed immediately |
00:32:25 |
Animals nowwaiting |
00:32:47 |
- Hello, Tony. |
00:32:53 |
- Did you have a nice trip? |
00:32:57 |
Dr Ottinger asked me |
00:33:00 |
for a conference |
00:33:03 |
I'll put these new cards in the file. |
00:33:16 |
- Is this the new design? |
00:33:18 |
The drawings came while you were away. |
00:33:32 |
Bronson tells me Ottinger |
00:33:35 |
have jumped over |
00:33:38 |
That will end the newspapers |
00:33:41 |
Stanton's folly! |
00:33:44 |
they'll wish they had |
00:33:46 |
They admit our calculations are correct |
00:33:50 |
Even in other countries where ships |
00:33:55 |
- And you? |
00:33:58 |
Always theories. |
00:34:02 |
- Aren't you ever positive? |
00:34:05 |
A government representative |
00:34:08 |
They will be evacuated |
00:34:10 |
What provisions have you made |
00:34:17 |
- I haven't thought about it. |
00:34:19 |
I don't deal in theories. |
00:34:22 |
Ferris! Bring in those boxes. |
00:34:25 |
I brought enough rifles |
00:34:28 |
- There'll be no panic. |
00:34:31 |
Once the havoc is over, every mother's |
00:34:35 |
People know only a handful |
00:34:38 |
You've spent too much time with the stars. |
00:34:41 |
You don't know about the law of |
00:34:46 |
You don't knowwhat your civilised people |
00:34:50 |
I do, because I'd cling if I had to kill |
00:34:54 |
We're the lucky ones |
00:34:58 |
And we'll use those guns |
00:35:04 |
Ferris! Ferris! |
00:35:07 |
There's no question that crisis impends. |
00:35:10 |
The secretary is on his way. |
00:35:19 |
My friends, it is imperative |
00:35:24 |
This is a matter of life or death. |
00:35:27 |
Your lives |
00:35:31 |
At one o'clock on July 24th, |
00:35:34 |
Zyra, a new planet, will pass |
00:35:38 |
it will cause mass destruction. |
00:35:41 |
There is no doubt about |
00:35:43 |
Remember, there is no doubt. |
00:35:48 |
whole populations must have been |
00:35:52 |
Plans have been made |
00:36:01 |
When I was a kid, I read a book |
00:36:04 |
I was so scared, I didn't dare sleep. |
00:36:08 |
Then in the morning, |
00:36:11 |
everything looked so wonderful, |
00:36:14 |
Life was beautiful all over again. |
00:36:17 |
The same sun will be shining |
00:36:21 |
Look, stargazer, |
00:36:26 |
The past couple of months, |
00:36:30 |
the few to make the trip |
00:36:33 |
Scientists like you or your father, |
00:36:37 |
You'll have things to offer. |
00:36:39 |
But you won't be needing aerial taXi |
00:36:44 |
Dad promised me that... |
00:36:49 |
Thanks, but Noah would have turned |
00:36:57 |
I'm not applying for this trip. |
00:37:01 |
The ship's cargo is limited. |
00:37:04 |
I weigh as much as a couple of lambs, |
00:37:07 |
three dozen chickens, |
00:37:10 |
We're coming in. |
00:37:13 |
Randall, calling Plateau Tower. |
00:37:20 |
Schedules of train, |
00:37:23 |
will be made available in all countries. |
00:37:32 |
Attention, please. |
00:37:35 |
The commanding general |
00:37:39 |
This is an official order. |
00:37:41 |
The evacuation will now proceed |
00:37:45 |
There will be planes enough for all. |
00:37:49 |
Families will not be separated for long. |
00:37:53 |
Families will only be separated |
00:37:57 |
Women and children will now proceed |
00:38:16 |
Never before |
00:38:18 |
has humanity felt so close to God. |
00:38:21 |
As Zyra ineXorably rushes toward us |
00:38:24 |
perhaps to destroy the earth, |
00:38:26 |
men and women of all races and creeds |
00:38:28 |
pause to think, to pray and to atone. |
00:38:32 |
As evacuation of coastal cities |
00:38:35 |
tales of acts of heroism and sacrifice |
00:38:38 |
poured into newspaper offices. |
00:38:41 |
With few exceptions, |
00:38:42 |
transportation and utility workers |
00:38:44 |
volunteered to remain at their posts |
00:38:47 |
until the evacuation is completed. |
00:38:49 |
Overnight, populations of inland cities |
00:38:51 |
were more than doubled. |
00:38:53 |
Deserted, the once great city of New York |
00:38:58 |
Ten million mighty roaring machines |
00:39:01 |
waiting for the approach of Zyra. |
00:39:04 |
The silence, an eerie foretelling |
00:39:09 |
at one o'clock, the hour of doom! |
00:39:39 |
According to your figures, |
00:39:41 |
by now we were supposed to feel |
00:39:45 |
Tidal waves, oceans torn from their beds... |
00:39:51 |
Millions of dollars for a false alarm. |
00:39:54 |
Ottinger called you a crackpot. |
00:39:56 |
All you scientists are crackpots. |
00:39:59 |
Nothing is going to happen. |
00:40:12 |
Ferris! |
00:40:38 |
- Are you all right? |
00:42:57 |
Attention! The ship is breaking |
00:43:29 |
Move those l-beams to the ship! |
00:43:41 |
Go to the crane and use the hook |
00:43:51 |
Lower the block! |
00:44:19 |
Look out! The crane is falling. |
00:44:26 |
Bronson! |
00:44:52 |
This is Emergency Camp 9 again. |
00:44:55 |
Is anyone left? |
00:44:58 |
We are located 11 miles |
00:45:04 |
That's about 100 miles from here. |
00:45:06 |
There is desperate need here |
00:45:09 |
Anything else for the helicopter, doctor? |
00:45:11 |
Those boxes. I'll bring the rest. |
00:45:14 |
Repeating - we are remaining on the air. |
00:45:17 |
Can anyone hear us? |
00:45:20 |
We need drinking water |
00:45:23 |
plasma and penicillin. |
00:45:26 |
You needn't come, Randall. |
00:45:29 |
- I've done a lot of parcel dropping. |
00:45:33 |
Sounds like somebody rubbed |
00:45:36 |
That's an excellent diagnosis. |
00:45:40 |
You're the doctor, you name it. |
00:45:43 |
We need drinking water |
00:45:46 |
plasma and penicillin. |
00:45:49 |
Later. Come on. |
00:45:51 |
Can anyone help? |
00:47:48 |
What's that? |
00:49:36 |
For a minute, I thought maybe now |
00:49:42 |
I gave it a passing thought. |
00:49:58 |
We cannot postpone the inevitable. |
00:50:00 |
This meeting is to choose those |
00:50:05 |
As you know, human cargo must be |
00:50:11 |
Every pound consumes fuel, |
00:50:14 |
which we cannot waste |
00:50:17 |
About 900 lbs |
00:50:21 |
Mr Stanton, Dr Frye, my daughter, |
00:50:32 |
Unless there is some objection we intend |
00:50:36 |
our latest addition to the camp. |
00:50:41 |
To again emphasise our fuel problem, |
00:50:44 |
most of it will be consumed |
00:50:48 |
once this has been accomplished, |
00:50:51 |
until we come into the gravitational pull |
00:50:54 |
In turning the ship completely around |
00:50:57 |
every ounce of fuel |
00:51:03 |
Dr Frye and I hope |
00:51:07 |
It would be unwise for a man |
00:51:11 |
while a man working at his side |
00:51:14 |
In this envelope is a list of numbers |
00:51:18 |
In these boxes |
00:51:22 |
The one on the left for the women, |
00:51:25 |
Each ofyou will select and keep one disc. |
00:51:28 |
This list will be posted |
00:51:32 |
shortly before the take off. |
00:51:35 |
Is this plan satisfactory? |
00:51:42 |
If there are no objections, |
00:51:49 |
This is the men's box. |
00:51:59 |
Your boX is here. |
00:52:01 |
You pick both numbers. |
00:52:12 |
This is the women's box. |
00:52:14 |
You're already listed. |
00:52:42 |
Hello, Dave. |
00:52:45 |
Not to quarrel about your sense of ethics - |
00:52:49 |
I haven't any more right |
00:52:52 |
I'll grant you that. |
00:52:55 |
I want to do things according to Hoyle. |
00:52:58 |
But Joyce is pretty important to me. |
00:53:00 |
- And to me. |
00:53:03 |
I'd do anything to ensure her chances. |
00:53:07 |
It isn't a free ride for Joyce. |
00:53:11 |
No more than some others. |
00:53:13 |
We're stretching the point |
00:53:16 |
Why not for her sake, |
00:53:22 |
Look, doctor. I've wrestled |
00:53:26 |
I can give you a dozen reasons |
00:53:29 |
Give me one good reason to include me. |
00:53:31 |
She wants you, Dave. |
00:53:33 |
That'll change. Tony will be there. |
00:53:36 |
She's used to having him around. |
00:53:39 |
They would have been married |
00:53:43 |
Anyhow, why worry? |
00:53:47 |
You didn't take any number from that boX. |
00:53:51 |
I had the exact number of discs in it. |
00:53:54 |
one for every man and woman |
00:53:58 |
If you had taken a number, |
00:54:01 |
Look, doctor. The drawing is over. |
00:54:05 |
You can't issue new numbers |
00:54:09 |
among the lucky winners. |
00:54:11 |
It's about time I donated something |
00:54:14 |
I won't be needed. I never have been. |
00:54:17 |
I didn't give up much by not drawing. |
00:54:23 |
Leaving me will save fuel. |
00:54:28 |
And I hope you won't say anything |
00:54:51 |
Attention, everyone! |
00:54:52 |
Bellus growing larger. |
00:54:55 |
And with every hour |
00:54:58 |
More welders are needed |
00:55:01 |
Please rush! |
00:55:11 |
Seven days left. |
00:55:13 |
We're falling behind schedule. |
00:55:15 |
Trucks are waiting to load plasma |
00:55:21 |
Less than six days left. |
00:55:24 |
We're still behind schedule. |
00:55:26 |
Construction Crew 5, |
00:55:46 |
This engine's all right. |
00:56:21 |
I'll take it. |
00:56:27 |
It will work out all right, Joyce. |
00:56:34 |
Please. |
00:56:38 |
only 79 hours to the collision with Bellus. |
00:56:41 |
We're still more than three hours |
00:57:44 |
- Worried? |
00:57:49 |
This ship is really well put together. |
00:57:51 |
If anything can make it to the new world, |
00:57:55 |
- Dave? |
00:57:57 |
How long would it take |
00:58:00 |
A few weeks, maybe. |
00:58:02 |
But Dr Frye knows |
00:58:05 |
He can operate it in his sleep. |
00:58:08 |
I hope so. |
00:58:11 |
Everyone will black out in the fast climb. |
00:58:14 |
The direction will be set. |
00:58:17 |
- All the way to Zyra? |
00:58:21 |
The blackout won't last |
00:58:27 |
This is no time |
00:58:31 |
I'm not. I know howwell |
00:58:34 |
The trouble is I just learned |
00:58:38 |
His chance of coming out |
00:58:42 |
- I've seen older men make it. |
00:58:45 |
1,500 miles in a few minutes? |
00:58:50 |
When did you discover that? |
00:58:52 |
Yesterday. When I made |
00:58:55 |
I haven't told anyone yet - |
00:58:57 |
Well, don't! |
00:59:02 |
Like Doomsday, that can't be avoided. |
00:59:05 |
We can't let Frye handle this flight. |
00:59:16 |
Look, doc... |
00:59:20 |
Dr Hendron and Frye must be told. |
00:59:24 |
That isn't what I wanted to say. |
00:59:28 |
No...you're right. |
00:59:31 |
There's no other choice. |
00:59:33 |
If anything happens to Frye |
00:59:37 |
I don't suppose it makes any difference, |
00:59:41 |
or dying on earth. |
00:59:50 |
After the blackout, |
00:59:53 |
Eddie Cummings could take over, |
00:59:57 |
If Frye is able to tell him |
01:00:04 |
Dave, you're hedging! |
01:00:08 |
Maybe not as good as Frye, |
01:00:11 |
Do you doubt being able to fly this ship? |
01:00:14 |
I can fly her. |
01:00:16 |
There isn't anyone else. |
01:00:19 |
If Frye doesn't make it, |
01:00:26 |
For months, I've tried to find |
01:00:30 |
I never could. Maybe things |
01:00:35 |
Diagnose it any way you want. |
01:00:37 |
All I know is, I'd feel a lot easier, |
01:00:48 |
Be right back! |
01:01:22 |
This is the last of the chloroform. |
01:01:25 |
Put it somewhere handy |
01:01:27 |
You going to give the animals |
01:01:30 |
If we don't, |
01:01:33 |
We wouldn't want to see them |
01:01:36 |
I'll never forget what you did |
01:01:40 |
I told you the doctor would fix everything. |
01:01:49 |
Come here, Whatsis. |
01:01:51 |
- Come on. |
01:01:54 |
- He's mine. |
01:01:57 |
- Downtown. |
01:01:59 |
He was walking around. |
01:02:02 |
I hate to remind you, but you said |
01:02:06 |
That's right, I did, didn't I? |
01:02:08 |
Let's weigh him. |
01:02:13 |
Incidentally, he's a she. |
01:02:15 |
Nine lbs, two ounces. |
01:02:23 |
Sure, Whatsis is gonna pinch it |
01:02:30 |
Urgent! We are still |
01:02:33 |
Those making the attempt to reach Zyra, |
01:02:37 |
- I knew it would be like this! |
01:02:45 |
My number - it's on! I'm on the list! |
01:02:49 |
Julie! I'm on the list! |
01:02:59 |
Julie! My number! |
01:03:20 |
Remember, if we delay the take off |
01:03:23 |
Zyra's position will form |
01:03:27 |
I hope we can retain that eXtra fuel |
01:03:30 |
while we look for landing room. |
01:03:32 |
Zyra will be about here |
01:03:34 |
If you hold the ship to this curve, |
01:03:39 |
The fuel will last longer with less cargo! |
01:03:46 |
You and that chair weigh 186 lbs. |
01:03:48 |
That's a lot of fuel. |
01:03:52 |
No more than you want to donate your life! |
01:03:55 |
I paid for this ship. You would have been |
01:04:00 |
Before you paid, you tried to make this |
01:04:04 |
A private rocket ship |
01:04:08 |
This project was started by real |
01:04:11 |
They gave their money |
01:04:14 |
You're not here under any special licence. |
01:04:17 |
You're always shouting for facts. |
01:04:21 |
our chance of reaching the new world |
01:04:23 |
is as thin as you becoming a humanitarian! |
01:04:26 |
Ifwe make it, will we be able to land? |
01:04:28 |
Will the air be fit to breathe? |
01:04:32 |
Men and women here |
01:04:35 |
Not your kind of hypocritical praying, |
01:04:37 |
but the kind that comes |
01:04:41 |
- Sorry. I'll come back later. |
01:04:52 |
I just wanted to leave this |
01:05:03 |
He has a girl, Julie Cummings. |
01:05:10 |
There's that extra fuel. |
01:05:14 |
You heard him volunteer to stay behind. |
01:05:19 |
You're not taking it from him! |
01:05:24 |
Get out. Ferris! |
01:05:26 |
Shut up! |
01:05:28 |
This is one ofthe good ones, isn't it? |
01:05:31 |
I'm sorry. |
01:05:34 |
- I'm going too. |
01:05:36 |
I'd almost rather kill you than go along. |
01:05:39 |
For seven years, ever since I started |
01:05:42 |
I've hated your insides. |
01:05:46 |
I'd like to reason things out. |
01:05:49 |
No! You three are running things. |
01:05:54 |
This is my number. |
01:05:57 |
And if I don't go... |
01:06:05 |
- He was going to kill us. |
01:06:10 |
I said this would happen. |
01:06:13 |
There'll be others. All of them. |
01:06:17 |
- He may be right. |
01:06:20 |
one boy was stabbed after the list was |
01:06:25 |
It's dog eat dog. |
01:06:27 |
We can't risk it. |
01:06:30 |
Move the women on board |
01:06:33 |
The men can wait outside until take off! |
01:06:35 |
- The guns are in my room. |
01:06:39 |
We'll have to move people and animals |
01:06:43 |
- There's a girl... |
01:06:45 |
Tell her there's been a mix-up. |
01:06:48 |
We'll gamble on less flying time |
01:06:55 |
- Let me tell you... |
01:06:59 |
Don't say anything. |
01:08:01 |
The last dawn! |
01:08:10 |
I think we can start boarding. |
01:08:12 |
All right, everyone, inside the ship! |
01:08:19 |
I'll bring Mr Stanton. |
01:08:28 |
Why should our lives be decided by |
01:08:32 |
- It should have been by voting! |
01:08:36 |
Gangway, boys. |
01:08:37 |
- Here are the guns Stanton left. |
01:08:40 |
- Let's go. Grab a gun. |
01:08:43 |
- We agreed to the drawing. |
01:08:46 |
Take the ship. Then what? |
01:08:49 |
The rest of us will get rid of that 40, |
01:08:53 |
until we kill each other or get caught |
01:08:56 |
Stick around until the collision |
01:09:29 |
Get me on board. |
01:09:37 |
You were right. You're a better judge |
01:09:40 |
Get me aboard. No, Hendron. |
01:09:47 |
Hendron, what are you doing? |
01:09:49 |
No. Wait. Help! |
01:09:57 |
Dr Hendron. |
01:10:01 |
Hold the gangplank. |
01:10:07 |
We're the extra fuel they might need. |
01:10:09 |
The new world isn't for us. |
01:10:17 |
Dave! The ship is moving. stand by. |
01:11:37 |
We're out of the pressure zone. |
01:11:42 |
The engines are off. |
01:11:53 |
We're on course. |
01:12:03 |
You invented those cardiographs |
01:12:07 |
Yours and Joyce's. |
01:12:12 |
- How does it look? |
01:12:16 |
We'll need every bit, |
01:12:20 |
at ten miles a second. |
01:12:51 |
- We're getting close. |
01:12:58 |
Turn the ship. |
01:13:18 |
Start all engines. |
01:13:37 |
We're slowing. |
01:13:38 |
- Can I cut one engine? |
01:13:42 |
- We're using fuel too fast. |
01:14:04 |
The ship has turned for landing. |
01:14:13 |
35,000... |
01:14:16 |

Cut wing engines one and siX. |
01:14:29 |

01:14:35 |
I'm going to level off. |
01:14:37 |
Brace yourselves. |
01:15:04 |
Land anywhere! We've got to. |
01:15:06 |
- Not yet. |
01:15:12 |
The fuel's gone. |
01:15:19 |
There's an opening! |
01:15:21 |
- There go the engines! |
01:15:31 |
- It looks frozen! |
01:15:34 |
We're going to find out. |
01:16:15 |
- We made it! |
01:16:17 |
- We're on Zyra. |
01:16:48 |
Dave, wait until we've tested |
01:16:52 |
We'll get a sample through the airlock. |
01:16:54 |
Never mind. Good air or bad, |
01:17:11 |
Best air I ever tasted. |
01:17:13 |
Break out the gangplank. |
01:17:44 |
Mike! Where is he? |
01:17:49 |
Hey, Mike! |
01:17:54 |
- Our first citizens. |
01:17:57 |
- They sure are. |
01:17:59 |
Well, let's leave Whatsis |
01:18:03 |
Now, let's go look at the first sunrise. |
