I saw it in the theater when it first came out in 1957. I read the book shortly thereafter.
It has a good ending.
The movie is anti-communist, and like Red Planet Mars, another favorite of mine, it's mocked by some on the Left.

So much SF of the 50's is thinly disguised propaganda like this that allowed the liberal intelligentsia in Hollywood to infiltrate insipid ideas like moral equivalence and man as God into the minds of the youth of the day and provide the underpinnings many of the problems of today.
I do like Panic in Year Zero, an early survivalist flick that showed a nuclear war as survivable and stressed the need to shave, pray and use violence against evil to remain civilized.
To: atomic_dog
Panic in The Year Zero, was good. Ray Milland and Frankie Avalon etc. When i saw it as a kid in the 60s-we all talked
the next day about it at school and what would we do if.

Red Planet Mars
Did it have Robert Graves and about these astronomers claiming to detect communications from Mars ? Had religious overtones as well.

Have you seen the movie? It didn’t seem liberal to me.

Science Fiction is often anti Man-As-God. Mad Scientist films for instance.

It was directed by William Asher who also directed every single episode of Bewitched. He was married to Elizabeth Montgomery.

Science Fiction is often anti Man-As-God. Mad Scientist films for instance. True. And this film doesn't even have a Man-As-God theme in it.

Five individuals from the USA, the USSR, Red China, England, and West Germany, suddenly find themselves on an alien spacecraft... Any of these individuals has the capability to instantaneously launch the capsules to whatever coordinates he/she chooses, and each capsule will then eradicate all human life within a 1,500-mile radius of its designated location.
In the remake, all five will pick a location in Pakistan, and most of the Moslem population of the Middle East ceases to exist, while Israel falls just outside the kill zone.

“most of the Moslem population of the Middle East ceases to exist, while Israel falls just outside the kill zone. “
According to the film it would only kill those of evil intent.
That would mean even it it include all the middle east, all those of radical islam would be history.
Most of Israel would survive, anyway at least given the story line of the video. I say do it!
