Watch the sci-fi classic Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea in its entirety right here, right now on Fancast.

A disaster movie about global warming… made in 1961?

Sure, in this case, it’s about meteors setting the Earth’s atmosphere itself on fire, but Al Gore would probably recommend you watch Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea right alongside An Inconvenient Truth just to illustrate how far science has come. It’s the story of the state-of-the-art submarine called the Seaview and its crew, led by Admiral Nelson (Walter Pidgeon), as they strive to implement their risky solution for the burning sky problem. The U.N. wants to just wait it out, but Admiral Nelson knows that with the precise application of nuclear missiles, they can blow the fire out of existence before it cooks the Earth. You can bet Still-President Bush wishes he could just fire a nuke at global warming to finish it off.

Directed by Irwin Allen of The Poseidon Adventure fame, the film also stars Joan Fontaine as the stress-observing scientist Dr. Susan Hiller, Barbara Eden as Lt. Cathy Connors, Frankie Avalon as Lt. Danny Romano, Michael Ansara as religious fanatic Alvarez, and the great Peter Lorre as Commodore Lucius Emery.

Come on. It’s Peter Lorre. For Pete’s sake - Peter Lorre’s sake, that is - check out Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea right here on Fancast.
