À Rome, au début de l'année 69, l'empereur vieillissant Galba, faute d'héritier, doit choisir son successeur entre les sénateurs Pison et Othon. Ce dernier, naguère favori de l'empereur précédent Néron, cherche l'appui du consul Vinius qui consent à le soutenir s'il suit sa stratégie en demandant d'abord la main de Camille, la nièce de Galba, plutôt que celle de sa fille Plautine dont il est épris. Othon accepte au moment où Galba choisit Pison et lui donne sa nièce pour femme. Mais l'armée se rebelle contre Galba et c'est Othon qui est proclamé empereur sans être contraint d'épouser qui que ce soit.

The new, state of the art nuclear submarine Seaview is on diving trials in the Arctic Ocean. The Seaview is designed and built by scientist and engineering genius Admiral Harriman Nelson (USN-Ret) (Walter Pidgeon). Captain Lee Crane (Robert Sterling) is the Seaview's Commanding Officer. One of the on-board observers is Dr. Susan Hiller (Joan Fontaine), studying crew-related stress. The mission includes being out of radio contact for 96 hours while under the Arctic ice cap, but the ice begins to crack and melt, with boulder-size pieces crashing into the ocean around the submarine. Surfacing, they discover fire burning in the sky. After the rescue of a scientist and his dog at Ice Floe Delta, Miguel Alvarez (Michael Ansara), the sub receives radio contact from Mission Director Inspector Bergan at the Bureau of Marine Exploration. He advises that a meteor shower pierced the Van Allen radiation belt causing it to catch fire, resulting in a world-threatening increase in heat all across the Earth. Nelson's on-board friend and scientist, retired Commodore Lucius Emery (Peter Lorre) concurs that it is possible. Bergan informs Nelson that the President wants him at a UN Emergency Scientific Meeting as soon as possible.

Il existe deux versions de ce film dans son montage court. Une française, muette, restaurée en 1999 par la Cinémathèque française à partir d'une copie-travail nitrate provenant de ses collections et une japonaise presque identique mais plus courte, il manque par exemple quelques scènes du mariage d'Orie et de Yukichi, mais commentée par un benshi. Les intertitres des deux versions comportent des différences. Le synopsis ci-dessous se base sur la version japonaise.
