ON THE BEACH

USA, 1959, Director and Producer: Stanley Kramer, 134 minutes

On the Beach is a 1959 American post-apocalyptic science fiction drama film from United Artists starring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, and Anthony Perkins. Produced and directed by Stanley Kramer, it is based on Nevil Shute's 1957 novel On the Beachdepicting the aftermath of a nuclear war. Unlike the novel, no one is assigned blame for starting the war, which attributes global annihilation to fear compounded by accident or misjudgment.

A troubled 14-years-old boy grows increasingly isolated as he obsesses over the circumstances surrounding his father death. His Latin American descent puts him on a dismal and potentially violent course that will lead to major truths and even greater questions. The boy's father was US-soldier at the war against Iraq. He died because of the contamination by the dust of the so called depleted uranium ammunition that the US Army was using.
