In this Cold War-era sci-fi that resembles an extended episode of The Twilight Zone, Harry Belafonte plays a sanitation worker trapped underground during a nuclear event, who emerges to find all humanity has been wiped out. After traveling to NYC, he learns that he may not be the only survivor. THE WORLD, THE FLESH AND THE DEVIL is a gripping post-apocalyptic drama that deals with themes of racism, isolation and human nature while showcasing beautiful high-contrast black-and-white cinematography.
