In England, a young American falls in love with the sister of a sadistic and lecherous motorcycle gang leader who despises the American. The couple takes refuge from the gang leader's harassment in a cave where they discover a group of children, who are the result of an experiment by a scientist seeking to develop a race of humans capable of surviving an atomic blast.

No, let's not beat around the bush, the climax and unveiling of everything is not as great as one would think, and the author of the original probably didn't know how to camouflage it anymore. However, it has quite a good touch of the 1950s, that unforgettable fear and its consequences. The punchline is definitely not the strong point of the movie, but I might still hear that opening song in my head for a long time. Oliver Reed excels in it.
