This quite extraordinary anti-communist tract masquerades as naive science fiction.
An alien gives five people from five different countries a box of capsules capable of destroying life on their continent if opened.
The capsules become harmless after 27 days or on the owner’s death. Suicide or destruction is the choice until the Russian emissary is ordered to annihilate the western world.
A real Cold War curio with an equally bizarre payoff despite pedestrian direction by William Asher, who graduated to making Beach Party movies.
