Five

Five is an independently made 1951 American black-and-white post-apocalyptic science fiction film produced, written, and directed, by Arch Oboler, starring William Phipps, Susan Douglas Rubes, James Anderson, Charles Lampkin and Earl Lee. The film was distributed by Columbia Pictures. The storyline of Five involves five survivors, one woman and four men, of an atomic bomb disaster, which appears to have wiped out the rest of the human race while leaving all infrastructure intact, who come together at a remote, isolated hillside house; they not only try to figure out how to survive but come to terms with the loss of their own personal worlds, while also being forced to face an unknown future.
