Pretty downbeat end of the world made-for-T.V. movie. This time it's the Sun to blame for resetting the clock on old Mother Earth by shooting out some people-disintegrating solar flares. Peter Graves, and his great voice, is our main survivor and the dad of a family left looking for their missing mom. Things don't work out all that well and you get a typically downer 70s ending though not as totally nihilistic as some of the theatrical sci-fi features around this time. I was too young to have ever seen this when it first played on television but apparently it upset a lot of young people that did catch it back in the day. So I guess if you're young and sensitive give it a look for some lasting/traumatizing memories.
A.B.C. movie of the week!:
