This is one of what I call my Saturday night favorites. Love the premise of obtaining limitless power. Good science gone wrong. Good musical score is the cherry on top!
I saw this movie on TV when I was still young enough for it to really scare me. I had nightmares for weeks! The special effects were good for the time, but it's amazing to think that Star Wars came only a dozen years later with effects that still look pretty good today.
I saw this for the first time one month after catching "Atragon" in July 1965. Talk about a high for a nine year old. I keep hoping someone will faithfully follow these classics and give them the shine with today's state of the art effects. My biggest fear is that they would be changed so much by the whims of modern directors that they would lose what made them special.
1965 Sci-Fi movie fashion statement lives on today. Tattered grey lab coats worn off the shoulder is still trending for women in labs today and don't forget those trendy bright red Ericofons, the latest rage in Ericsson mobile phone technology and the one piece handset lives on.
I love this movie. Sci-Fi movies were so cheesy back when it came out. This one was well written and for the time, great special effects. It's a fun movie to watch and I added it to my DVD collection.
❤😂 WE HAVE STRUCK MAGMA! (Trumpet lick) waaa waaa waaaaaaa I used to love all these atomic renaissance 50s 60s sci fi as a child in the 80s 90s. I felt such a sense of romanticism to the scientific optimism vs traditional values and ethics. Amazing too many movies to mention. This one actually had pretty good production quality. Of course I absolutely love the B ones too😊.
So, they send a nuke down a deep hole and it creates this big problem. Their solution to the problem is to send another nuke down a deep hole. LOL. Well I suppose it did solve the first problem. Great movie for its time though. Dana Andrews was a great actor and he had a wonderful speaking voice.
I love this movie and have it on DVD. I watched it just a couple weeks ago. I always feel sorry for the poor people on the piece of Earth that goes flying off into space at the end.
Jane Hewett from what I could tell the majority of the earth flung into space was ocean. The habitable area was a small section of the Tanzania coast. And most of the Tanzania people had been evacuated
What went flying off into space was a section of ocean, and a ball of magma surrounded by plasma. Trillions of tons of tons of seawater should have poured down that 20,000 square mile diameter hole, come in contact with all that magma, and the colossal pressure generated by the steam would cause a cataclysm like they were trying to avoid. That close to the breakaway they should have been killed!
@@emmanuelwilliams2323 the crack began and ended at the borehole. The Project offices were outside that area by at least a mile. Stephen was most certainly buried 3 miles down
@@Beamshipcaptain you're very close. If the weight of the seawater wasn't able to hold down the chunk of the earth's crust then yes the launch of the new moon would cause mile high Tsunamis that would race around the world. Then there would be secondary Tsunamis from the ocean rushing back to fill the void in the earth's crust. Once the ocean water hit that magma the resulting steam would rush up to cloud the atmosphere and cause Noah-esc rain storms world wide
I saw this film when I was about 9 years old in 1969 during the Apollo mission. It was quite a film for it's day. I asked my Dad if something like this could really happen?
I saw it first when I was a kid on holiday in Torquay with my dad. When we left the cinema there had been a storm and a tree had been blown down so I thought the end of the world was happening.
This one is a gem. All the right ingredients for a Sat afternoon in front of the tv. I would prefer to watch Crack In The World on the big screen. But the tele was how I watched this one, Day of the Triffids and 5 Million Years To Earth aka Quatermass and the Pit. 60's sci-fi disaster flicks had some of the best ideas and special effects. Does anyone feel there are similarities to MOONFALL and Crack In The World?
I'm 64 and remember this. Hopefully, Kilauea won't be a situation where it generates a crack that circles the Pacific along the Ring of Fire and blasts off into space. Although, that would eliminate the pile of plastic trash which is in the Pacific and is currently the size of Texas.
Every since I first saw this movie on TV, I felt cheated that they didn't show the interior of the hole after the chunk of the Earth was ejected. They have the FX to do it now if it was remade.
I could never figure out what was that "whirly-gig" floating up into the atmosphere at the end of this movie. Some people seem to be commenting that it's part of the earth. Looks like ball lightening to me.
It would go into orbit but earth's reaction to a huge chunk being flung into orbit would most certainty shift the axis of this planet causing god knows what kind of climate change. Then factor in all the sea water rushing in to fill the new hole and the resulting steam rushing up to cloud the atmosphere. Yeah; I think earth is F'ed any way you cut it
Absolutely no science used in the making of this film. Poor acting, poor dialog, but great fun. Leave your brains in the lobby before entering theater. I always felt sorry for Dana Andrews being associated with this after so many good roles in the past.
I went looking for this movie on #FB; did a search on #Crackin the #World...also known as #FRACking the #Islands...there was a coal-fired plant at #Krack #Atoa in 1883...a massieve eruption at Iceland in 1783...part of a global quest for coal-oil.
I downloaded this movie and it took me several days to get through it. I stopped and started it, and went back to it several times. Sorry, but I found it dull. And yet I wanted to finish it but at times I wanted to give up. It's a good plot but the story is bogged down with this boring romance love triangle with an old man, a young woman, and a relatively young guy. I'd only give it 3/10. Quite dull and a waste of the actors' talents.Vastly overrated.
You best believe this would work from a free energy standpoint. Just look at Iceland; a country entirely run on geo thermal power. As to the mining aspect of the metals/minerals in liquid form I'm not so sure how that would be commercially realized
Way better than 2012. I love this film!
This was the finest documentary ever made. We watch it every Christmas.

Great movies like this are not made anymore...

Ummm...a volcano would accomplish the same result.
I remember waiting in line to see this when it came out at the Avenue Theater... it was awesome
This is one of my favorite science fiction movies. They don't make quality like this anymore.
Dana Andrews's best role, after Zero Hour.
Movie scared me as a kid more than the wolfman,dracula,mummyetc, hated the part when the guy falls in the volcano.
Bombing the crap out of the inner earth . What could possibly go wrong ?

MrFluffykat Too bad Stephen and the Inner Earth project went up to space when the cracks meet up in the end of the movie.

This movie SCARED THE SHIT out of me as a kid. I LOVE it! Watch it MULTIPLE times.
With a second moon pulling on earth , what kind of waves on ocean ??
@@mordecaiesther3591 it would definitely alter the tidal patterns, and likely impact many coastal species.

Five years later Continental Drift was no longer a theory but established fact with fracture points around the Earth.
John Douglas did the musical score for this film but at first I would have bet the farm it was Barry Gray. Very similar styles.
Superb!

Summer Saturday afternoon, American Bandstand at 12, this movie at 1, Major League Baseball game of the week at 3 lasting until dinnertime.
Barış Özcan'ın videosundan gelenler :)
I remember watching this on TV in the 1960s.
Cracker Island
I'm 64 and remember this. Hopefully, Kilauea won't be a situation where it generates a crack that circles the Pacific along the Ring of Fire and blasts off into space. Although, that would eliminate the pile of plastic trash which is in the Pacific and is currently the size of Texas.
This movie was made before plate techtonics was fully understood
I loved this movie when I was a kid. Still do..
Dam good disaster film, way better than 2012. I would love to see this film remade.
Every since I first saw this movie on TV, I felt cheated that they didn't show the interior of the hole after the chunk of the Earth was ejected. They have the FX to do it now if it was remade.
This movies clipping right along!!!!!
Seems to me that might have wanted to lift that missile up higher before "launching" it. They way the did it, it had like 20 feet to get up speed.
It entered the hole and accelerated miles down to reach an impenetrable ( by drills) barrier.
What do you mean "we" have caused a crack?
I loved. This movie and the intro don't make movies or intros like this anymore
I could never figure out what was that "whirly-gig" floating up into the atmosphere at the end of this movie. Some people seem to be commenting that it's part of the earth. Looks like ball lightening to me.
I think it's supposed to be a piece of the earth becoming a second moon.
@@tylerlamb9930 Thanks!
I always thought it was the inner core.
The forces needed to start a crack are greater than those to maintain a crack
That's recovery
Hey Jamie -- that's a decent job. Congrats!
True
I wonder if the circle ejected would form a second moon, or fall back?
It would go into orbit but earth's reaction to a huge chunk being flung into orbit would most certainty shift the axis of this planet causing god knows what kind of climate change. Then factor in all the sea water rushing in to fill the new hole and the resulting steam rushing up to cloud the atmosphere. Yeah; I think earth is F'ed any way you cut it
it would probably fall back in time . our moon was not made like this
So what are mad scientist working on now that we don't know about?
Making safer Tide Pods for millennials to eat.
CERN and free clean geothermal energy.
Well, speaking for my own endeavors, what I am working on is... Oh wait, none of your business!!! (Nice try though)
I like the one with spiral architect that was pulled
I'm soooo confused
Gotta get the old guy out of the way, so the babe and the hunk can survive.
Very cool movie. One of my all time favorites.
"9...RAQ!!!!!" ©
What did they expect?
You mean re global warming ?
Free clean geothermal energy.
i have found you again.
Isn't this sort of thig called a Verneshot??

Where'd all them battleships come from???
Stock DOD atomic test footage
@@MrFluffykat I know that. It was Crossroads Baker. It just was the best they could come up with.
@@tuttt99 it isn't like they set off nukes every day
@@tuttt99 very sharp observation
@@MrFluffykat That was 1946 underwater Bikini Atoll. A small bomb, compared to what came later by 1952..
It's Trumps fault???
NO It's San Andreas Fault!
Yes it is
He farted
Did MST3K ever do this one?
Sadly, no. The should have
Was it good crack?
@@warhulk2 world class based on the title
I look forward to feedback!
Good job!
5 min movie
I like it
Crack in the butt... LOL !
When it got pounded by that nukalur warhead it didn't hold back!
Moonfall eat your heart out!
Better than Moonfall.
Is this scientifically possible?
The Russians tried it and gave up at the 20 mile depth. Also look up the Moho Project
As to cracks in the earth's crust; this movie was made before plate techtonics was understood
Short answer,, no.
Scary movie
Yep this kinda scared the shit outta me...ppl always screwing with mother earth

Krakatoa was a natural event. What an imagination you have lol
Was a laff fest then, and now.
You just can't fool Mother Nature...ever!
Power hungry and greedy.. good movie though old movie sometimes I like the old movies better than I do with the newer ones

Free Energy: what a SCAM.
Free Energy is not a SCAM. We have been SCAMMED OUT OF FREE ENERGY by the rich and powerful, who own Petroleum companies.
It's a SCAM. Trump won, snowflake, so GET over it.
the Only Free Energy is what comes from the Sun every day. Everything else is Crap, BS, and a Scam.
You best believe this would work from a free energy standpoint. Just look at Iceland; a country entirely run on geo thermal power. As to the mining aspect of the metals/minerals in liquid form I'm not so sure how that would be commercially realized
@@QuantumRift if free energy was a scam then why did GOD put a thermal nuclear fusion reactor right over our heads?
