Trivia:
'Eugene Lourie' had two models of the gantry built. The second was made of balsa wood for the explosion scene. This insured complete destruction of the gantry while avoiding the danger of the set being sprayed by shrapnel.

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Near the beginning of the movie, Dr. Sorenson and Rampion are flying a helicopter to the scene of a huge animal stampede. The low-angle in-flight shot of them in the cockpit shows clouds above them, but they are motionless. This indicates that this scene was filmed on the ground in a stationary helicopter.

Dr. Maggie Sorenson: But Sir Charles, the project entrance is half a mile further on!
Sir Charles Eggerston: I know Mrs. Sorenson. I wanted to stop here to take a better look at *that*. That's your drill tower, isn't it?
Dr. Maggie Sorenson: Yes it is.
Sir Charles Eggerston: What's that missile doing up there? I thought that we came here to discuss with your husband the *possibility* of using an atomic warhead.
Dr. Maggie Sorenson: *Half* a missile, Sir Charles. If you look closely, you'll see it's not armed.

This is an outstanding movie. The acting and direction are well above par for this genre. The cinematography and effects are truly eye-popping. The tension builds to a spectacular climax.
I am shocked to find that it is not available as video in any format!
