Synopsis

Five is a 1951 American independent horror/science-fiction film that was produced, written and directed by Arch Oboler.

The film's plot involves one woman and four men, the apparent sole survivors of a war using a new type of atomic bomb. It appears to have annihilated the rest of the human race while leaving all infrastructure intact. The five people meet at a remote, isolated hillside house, where they try to determine how to survive and come to terms with the loss of their own personal worlds.
