crack in the world (1965)

"You'll save the world or destroy it."
Finding himself terminally ill Dr. Stephen Sorenson (Dana Andrews) is determined to push his latest project to fruition; the tapping of the Earth's magma layer for its geothermal energy. But his use of a thermonuclear device threatens to literally split the Earth in two, as he ignores warnings that his theory may lead to disaster.
An early example of the disaster movie, exploiting flawed science to deliver an OK sci-fi.
