On the Beach (DVD)

The year is 2006; America has released a nuclear bomb on Taiwan leaving only Australia in its wake. A small crew aboard a U.S. Navy submarine led by Commander Dwight Towers (Assante) manages to survive the devastating blast, but it isn`t long before they`re forced to place the vessel under the Australian government`s command. They`re assigned a life threatening task; to enter radioactive waters and find an insane scientist (Brown) who`s been in solitude while waiting for what he believes to be the final

end.

Before the mission begins, the commander meets the scientist`s beautiful ex-fiancie (Ward), to whom he immediately takes a liking. A romantic liaison ensues, but the mission at hand threatens their love, and the lives of the entire crew. A remake of the 1959 classic based on the novel by Nevil Shute.
