How you make a movie about impending atomic devastation this boring is beyond me.
An American spy tries to find out what information has been developed from the Sputnik satellite. It turns out the Soviets now have an intercontinental ballistic missile at their disposal and its launch date is imminent.
To be honest, this movie lost me from the first frame and the above plot summary is all I can really remember of it. The film has no redeeming qualities. Give it a miss.

Eew! It sounded as something with potential…
Don’t worry we have plenty of others to choose from. I can give a recommendation to Konga from this year for sheer awfulness and unintended humor.
No, don’t give it a miss. Track down episode 205 of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and watch it in the company of Joel, Tom Servo, and Crow. It’s much better that way.
I’m sure it’s more tolerable with a riff track. But my best beloved bad movies don’t require one – they are funny or appalling enough all on their own.
