Summary:
When the Earth is threatened by a burning Van Allen Radiation Belt, U.S. Navy Admiral Harriman Nelson plans to shoot a nuclear missile at the Belt, using his experimental atomic submarine, the Seaview.
Global warming? Walter Pidgeon's Admiral Nelson has the answer in this lively, colourful sci-fi adventure. [11 Mar 2006, p.53]
Once impressive, the special effects seem dated now. [15 Nov 1991, p.18]
A silly action-adventure written and directed by the master of movie disasters, Irwin Allen. It stars a stiff Walter Pidgeon as the admiral of a U.S. nuclear submarine whose mission is to save the Earth from the Van Allen radiation belt that has caught on fire. [24 Jul 2002, p.2]

Irwin Allen's cheesy flick is campy, with laughable fx.
But, the movie is watchable, with hammy performances, by dignified old school stars, slumming it. And Frankie Avalon sings the theme song !!!
Other positive : Barbara Eden is really attractive.
