On the eve of imminent nuclear war, two scientists try to sneak their families onto an experimental government space ship to flee to a safer planet.

Rod's Intro

" Quitting time at the plant.  Time for supper now.  Time for families.  Time for a cool drink on a porch.  Time for the quiet rustle of leaf-laden trees that screen out the moon.  And underneath it all, behind the eyes of the men, hanging invisible over the summer night, is a horror without words.  For this is the stillness before storm.  This is the eve of the end. "

Rod's Outro

" Behind a tiny ship heading into space is a doomed planet on the verge of suicide.  Ahead lies a place called Earth, the third planet from the sun.  And for William Sturka and the men and women with him, it's the eve of the beginning... in the Twilight Zone. "
