Synopsis
Des explosions atomiques expérimentales font sortir la planète de son orbite, elle se rapproche désormais inévitablement du Soleil. Les autorités, dépassées, gardent le silence mais un journaliste, ami d’une standardiste bien placée, découvre toute la vérité. Pendant ce temps les nations unies tentent l’opération de la dernière chance.
