About
Synopsis
When Worlds Collide (1951) is one of Hollywood's earliest disaster films — watch it online on iFILM. Director Rudolph Maté and producer George Pal adapted a 1933 novel: a rogue star is heading directly for Earth, and the math is not wrong.
Astronomers bring their calculations to a billionaire who agrees to fund one rocket. Capacity: a few dozen people. Who gets a seat is decided by lottery. Richard Derr and Barbara Rush play two of the chosen, trying to hold themselves together while the rest of the world processes what's coming. The film took home the Academy Award for Best Special Effects — a prize that reflected genuine ingenuity, built decades before digital tools existed.
