"On the Beach" with Greogory Peck as the submarine commander, and Fred Astair (The only film I have seen where he does not do any dancing.) as the wanna-be race car driver in the last uncontaminated continent in the world; Australia.

The last scenes of mass suicide and the futility of it all still brings tears no matter how many times I have seen it.

Instead of poison, Fred Astair puts his car up on blocks and races the engine in a closed garage.

Scary and heartbreaking, because there was no more chance for survival as nuclear contamination reached Australia.
