The Day the Sky Exploded (Italian:
La morte viene dallo spazio /
Death Comes From
Outer Space) is a 1958 Italian science fiction film directed by Paolo Heusch. It is known as the first Italian sci-fi dramatic film, predating even the sci-fi films of
Antonio Margheriti.[
1][2] It starred Paul Hubschmid and Fiorella Mari, and was also released in
France, the
United States and
West Germany. Famed Italian horror director Mario Bava was the cinematographer on the film, and is said to have contributed to many of the film's special effects.
An atomic rocket is launched on a manned moon mission, but one of the engines malfunctions. The rocket's steering is broken. The pilot disengages the capsule and returns to
Earth. The atomic booster, however, continues on, eventually crashing into and exploding in an asteroid belt. The explosion dislodges many asteroids from their orbits. They coalesce into one giant cluster and are heading for earth. As the cluster approaches earth it causes global scale disasters: tidal waves, wind, fire storms and earthquakes. One scientist loses his sanity in the crisis and disables the great computer needed to calculate all the firing data. He is stopped and the data provided. When there seems to be no reasonable hope that humans could eventually avoid the crash, scientists find that the moon will pass in front of the cluster so that the Earth will be shielded from most of it. However, a small part of the cluster is not shielded and goes towards the Earth. At this
point, mankind's only hope is to arm every missile on earth with a nuclear warhead and fire them all at the cluster. The nations of the world band together and fire the volley. The cluster is destroyed
.
In the English version of the movie, the sun was not mentioned as the source of the asteroids. From the movie:
“ “We have been able to locate the source of the echo.” “Well?” “It comes from the mass of
Delta asteroids. The explosion of the XZ atomic charge has driven them out of orbit. They have become attracted one to another forming a single mass which is now wandering in space.” “
Direction?” “Towards the Earth
.” ”
In the French version of the movie, however, the atomic rocket stage exploded later in the asteroid belt hurtling meteors on a collision course with earth.
