When a group of astronomers calculate a star is on a course to slam into Earth, a few days before, it's accompanying planet will first pass close enough to the Earth to cause havoc on land and sea. They set about building a rocket so a few selected individuals can escape to the planet.
An approaching planet threatens to tear the Earth apart before a rogue star ultimately finishes the job. This mid-century spectacle captures the frantic, claustrophobic scramble to build a spacecraft for a handful of lucky survivors.
