Seltsame Naturkatastrophen brechen plötzlich über die Erde herein: Schneestürme toben durch New York, Wüsten werden überschwemmt und Hitzewellen rollen über Europa. Panik bricht aus. Die Reporter Maguire und Stenning finden heraus, daß Russen und Amerikaner zeitgleich auf den beiden Polen Atomexplosionen ausgelöst haben. Dabei wurde die Erde aus ihrer Umlaufbahn geworfen und steuert auf die Sonne zu. Gebannt - aber machtlos - verfolgen Maguire, Stenning und seine Geliebte die Anstrengungen der Supermächte, die Erde zu retten...
