What begins as a scientific disagreement ends with an event having importance for the solar system we live in. Drs. Dana Andrews and Kieron Moore a pair of well known physicists are working on a project that would crack the earth's crust. The idea is to have a controlled flow of magma from the center of the earth from which humankind can extract the mineral wealth it needs and have a never ending heating supply.
Andrews wants to drop a missile with an atomic warhead down a shaft. He feels it will bore a hole allowing for a controlled flow. Moore however thinks the explosion will shatter the crust because of the underground atomic testing that's been done. Guess who turns out to be right?
In addition to their scientific disagreements Andrews and Moore are romantic rivals as well. Janette Scott who is married to Andrews once was going out with Moore who still has a yen for her.
I'm not sure of the physics or the geology that we are given in Crack In The World, but this is a well done science fiction drama spiced with a little romantic rivalry. A Crack In The World does form and threatens to dismember the planet itself.
Well we're still here and if you want to see the miracle that saves the Earth then see Crack In The World. Good indication there is a ruling power out there.
