This dynamic sci-fi thriller stars Dana Andrews, Janette Scott, Kieron Moore, and Peter Damon.

The plot revolves around Dr. Stephen Sorensen, portrayed by Dana Andrews, who teams up with his wife Dr. Maggie Sorensen (Janette Scott).

Despite warnings from Dr. Ted Rampion (Kieron Moore), Sorensen pushes forward, under a shadow of secrecy about his terminal illness.
