 Summary: Spies discover that the Red Chinese have built a "doomsday machine" capable of destroying the surface of the Earth, and that they plan to use it within a matter of days. Meanwhile, Project Astra, a manned U.S. space mission to Venus, is in its final hours before launch when it is taken over by the military and nearly half of its all-male crew is replaced by women. The reason for this becomes apparent when, shortly after Astra leaves orbit, the Earth is completely destroyed in a global cataclysm! Is the human race doomed? What dangers and wonders await the crew of the Astra on their journey to Venus?

My favorite in the fix it later category: "Day of the Triffids" (1963). The Howard Keel story was supposed to be the entire film, but, reportedly, the effects were so bad that the producers felt compelled to remove them and ended up with something too short to release. With the actors and sets gone, blacklisted writer Bernard Gordon created the lighthouse story with Janette Scott and Kieron Moore out of whole cloth. That story was directed by an uncredited Freddie Francis.
