When worlds collide (1951)

"Your salvation doesn't interest me; mine does."
David Randall (Richard Derr) is a pilot who finds out that the earth is on collision course with two other planets, dooming earth and all life upon it. Many dispute the findings but two millionaires have faith enough to invest in a project to build a space ship that will take a limited number of people, animals and plants to start a new life on the one planet that will survive. But can they build it in time and will the other planet sustain human life?
Another space bound production from George Pal. This early disaster movie makes the most of its apocalyptic theme and the good versus evil debate.
