Open in HeraeAbout the film
On the Beach is a 1959 American apocalyptic science fiction drama film, starring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, and Anthony Perkins. Produced and directed by Stanley Kramer, it is based on Nevil Shute's 1957 novel of the same title depicting the aftermath of a nuclear war. Unlike the novel, no one is assigned blame for starting the war, which attributes global annihilation to fear, compounded by accident or misjudgment. The film received mixed reviews from critics. The film was nominated for multiple awards, including at the Oscars for film editing and score. It was awarded a Japanese Blue Ribbon Award and a "United Nations Award" at the British Academy Film Awards. Ernest Gold's score won the 1960 Golden Globe.
