One exception is an isolated box canyon, surrounded by lead-bearing cliffs, in which former U.S. Navy Commander Jim Maddison lives with his daughter Louise in a home he has stockpiled with supplies in anticipation of such an apocalypse. Louise is engaged to be married, but her fiancé has been missing. She keeps his photo on her nightstand (actually a photo of <a href="/wiki/Roger_Corman" title="Roger Corman">Roger Corman</a>). </p><p>Into this natural bomb shelter stumble several survivors, who by chance were inside the canyon when the atomic war occurred. After initially refusing to admit them, Jim relents when his daughter appeals to his humanity. Among the survivors are a geologist, Rick, who happens to specialize in <a href="/wiki/Uranium_mining" title="Uranium mining">uranium mining</a>; and a small-time hood, Tony and his <a href="/wiki/Gun_moll" title="Gun moll">"moll"</a> Ruby, who were on their way to San Francisco. </p><p>There are two struggles for survival: The first is a simple question of whether the radioactive fallout will ever dissipate, and if so, if it will do so before the next rain comes which will wash out what is in the atmosphere onto the earth, contaminating their shelter. The second threat comes in the form of a hideous atomic mutated monster, which seems bent on killing anything it comes across, but only consuming those creatures whose flesh is contaminated by fallout. </p><p>A less obvious but no less dangerous threat is the hidden menace of Tony. Although seemingly charming and helpful, his true character and intentions are that he wants the other men out of the way, so that he can have both of the women, especially Louise, for himself. </p><p>All three dangers coincide as the mutated monster kidnaps Louise. It then releases her and she runs into a small fresh water lake, where the creature is obviously afraid to follow. Rick appears and attacks the creature, but it runs away as it begins to rain. Following the creature as it is being destroyed by the rain, Louise's mental connection with it stops as it dies. Tony, having stabbed Ruby to death after she confronted him about wanting to be with the younger Louise, then steals Jim's pistol. He quietly waits to ambush Rick when he returns with Louise. As Tony takes aim, Jim produces a second pistol and shoots Tony dead. </p><p>Jim has been slowly expiring from radiation poisoning. He reveals that the rain is radiation-free and will wash away all of the remaining contamination, making the world safe to venture out into again. As he dies, Jim also reveals that he has heard voices of other survivors on the radio. After the rain, Rick and Louise, the two survivors, walk hand-in-hand out of the canyon (as the end card saying "The Beginning" appears on screen). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Day_the_World_Ended&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Richard_Denning" title="Richard Denning">Richard Denning</a> as Rick</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Lori_Nelson" title="Lori Nelson">Lori Nelson</a> as Louise Maddison</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Adele_Jergens" title="Adele Jergens">Adele Jergens</a> as Ruby the gun moll</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Mike_Connors" title="Mike Connors">Mike Connors</a> (credited as Touch Connors) as Tony Lamont</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Paul_Birch_(actor)" title="Paul Birch (actor)">Paul Birch</a> as Jim Maddison</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Raymond_Hatton" title="Raymond Hatton">Raymond Hatton</a> as Pete</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Paul_Dubov" title="Paul Dubov">Paul Dubov</a> as Radek</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jonathan_Haze" title="Jonathan Haze">Jonathan Haze</a> as a Contaminated Man</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Paul_Blaisdell" title="Paul Blaisdell">Paul Blaisdell</a> as the Mutant</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Roger_Corman" title="Roger Corman">Roger Corman</a> as Nelson, Louise's fiancé in a framed photograph (uncredited)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Chet_Huntley" title="Chet Huntley">Chet Huntley</a> as Narrator (uncredited)</li></ul> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Day_the_World_Ended&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Fox_Theatre_Ad_-_4_January_1956,_San_Bernardino,_CA.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Fox_Theatre_Ad_-_4_January_1956%2C_San_Bernardino%2C_CA.jpg/220px-Fox_Theatre_Ad_-_4_January_1956%2C_San_Bernardino%2C_CA.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="232" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Fox_Theatre_Ad_-_4_January_1956%2C_San_Bernardino%2C_CA.jpg/330px-Fox_Theatre_Ad_-_4_January_1956%2C_San_Bernardino%2C_CA.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Fox_Theatre_Ad_-_4_January_1956%2C_San_Bernardino%2C_CA.jpg/440px-Fox_Theatre_Ad_-_4_January_1956%2C_San_Bernardino%2C_CA.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2466" data-file-height="2596" /></a><figcaption>Theatre advertisement for <i>Day the World Ended</i> and co-feature, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Phantom_from_10,000_Leagues" title="The Phantom from 10,000 Leagues">The Phantom from 10,000 Leagues</a></i>.</figcaption></figure> <p><i>Day the World Ended</i> was announced in November 1954 as one of the initial releases of the newly formed <a href="/wiki/American_International_Pictures" title="American International Pictures">American Releasing Corporation</a> (ARC).<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It would be the second film made for ARC by Golden State Productions, after <i><a href="/wiki/Apache_Woman_(1955_film)" title="Apache Woman (1955 film)">Apache Woman</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/James_H._Nicholson" title="James H.
