Storyline
Plot Summary |
An English scientist runs away from a research center with an atomic bomb. In a letter sent to the British Prime Minister he threatens to blow up the center of London if the Government don't announce the end of any research in this field within a week. Special agents from Scotland Yard try to stop him, with help from the scientist's assistant future son-in-law to find and stop the mad man.

Did You Know?
Trivia | James Bernard was most famous for composing the scores to numerous Hammer horrors, including Horror of Dracula (1958). Ironically, however, it was for this film that he won his only Oscar - as co-writer of the screenplay, not the music. See more » |
Goofs | Further to the comment of "In 1950, a nuclear weapon would weigh at least six metric tonnes. It certainly would not fit into a small Gladstone bag as shown in this movie" - the word "nuclear" is never used in this film. It is clearly stated that it is a new secret weapon, a UR 12, which does fit into a small Gladstone bag. It isn't an atom bomb (the term used at that time). See more » |

Superintendent Folland:
Repressing of fear is like trying to hold down the lid of a boiling kettle. Something's got to give eventually. See more » |
