During the 1940s, Nevil Shute had a steady job as an engineer in the British military but in his spare time, he wrote novels that were being well-received. Once the war was over, Shute choose to move to Australia and focus on writing, soon becoming an internationally acclaimed novelist. His novel On The Beach, particularly hit a chord with the international community, depicting the impact of global nuclear destruction. This documentary studies Shute's career and the adaptation of his most famous novel into a feature film in Melbourne, as his predictions of a post-Hiroshima world seem to be foreboding in their accuracy.

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
