Synopsis:
Dr. Steven Sorenson (Dana Andrews) and his wife and fellow scientist Dr. Maggie Sorenson (Janette Scott) plan to utilize the geothermal energy of the Earth's interior by detonating a powerful thermonuclear device deep within the Earth's core. Despite warnings from Maggie's ex-flame and fellow scientist Dr. Ted Rampian (Kieron Moore), Dr. Sorenson proceeds with the experiment after he secretly learns that he is terminally ill. This experiment causes a crack within the earth's crust and threatens to split the earth in two if it is not stopped in time.

WHAT'S THE CRAIC? - Crack in the World review by Frank Talker™

Spoiler Alert
28/12/2023

Impressive-looking movie with excellent special-effects compromised by terrible, expository dialogue which does not provide any kind of engaging emotional drama.

The actors do their best but their parts are so underwritten that the love triangle here comes across as pure soap-opera.

The underlying story here of scientific and technological over-reach leading to global catastrophe remains topical but is never fully unexplored. Perhaps there is a reason that the Earth's magma-core is shrouded by a thick mantle which only a fission bomb can penetrate? Yet only one of the characters in laboratory coats here in the whole wide world ever suggests that drilling through this protective layer might have deleterious and suicidal effects for the planet.
