Storyline

Dr. Steven Sorenson plans to tap the geothermal energy of the Earth's interior by means of a thermonuclear device detonated deep within the Earth. This experiment causes a crack to form and grow within the Earth's crust, which threatens to split the earth in two if it is not stopped in time.

The best science-fiction thriller this year.

Crack in the World [is] distinguished principally by some startling special effects.

David Pirie

RTTime OutFeb 9, 2006

The theme often seems awesomely credible and the special effects are excellent, although the usual character conflicts in the scientific team become trying at times.

Matt Brunson

RTFilm FrenzyMay 17, 2025

Features decent special effects as well as a few tense scenarios.
