Overview

In de jaren veertig had Nevil Shute een vaste baan als ingenieur in het Britse leger, maar in zijn vrije tijd schreef hij romans die goed werden ontvangen. Toen de oorlog eenmaal voorbij was, koos Shute ervoor om naar Australië te verhuizen en zich te concentreren op het schrijven, en werd al snel een internationaal geprezen romanschrijver. Zijn roman On The Beach raakte vooral een gevoelige snaar bij de internationale gemeenschap en schetst de impact van de mondiale nucleaire vernietiging. Deze documentaire bestudeert de carrière van Shute en de bewerking van zijn beroemdste roman tot een speelfilm in Melbourne, aangezien zijn voorspellingen over een wereld na Hiroshima onheilspellend lijken qua nauwkeurigheid.
