The Beast Of Yucca Flats (1961) movie Poster

Directors: Coleman Francis

Cast: Conrad Brooks, Tor Johnson

The Beast of Yucca Flats (released to television as Atomic Monster: The Beast of Yucca Flats) is a 1961 American B-movie horror film written and directed by Coleman Francis. It was produced by Anthony Cardoza, Roland Morin, and Jim Oliphant. The film stars Swedish former wrestler Tor Johnson (in his final film role) as the titular "Beast". It also stars Anthony Cardoza, Coleman Francis, and Jim Oliphant in bit parts, as well as Conrad Brooks in a minor role. Director Francis cast his two sons (Ronald and Alan Francis) in the film as the two lost boys. The plot concerns a Soviet scientist named Joseph Jaworsky (Tor Johnson), who defects and flees to a Nevada Test Site called Yucca Flats, only to be turned into a mindless monster by atomic radiation, stalking the desert. The film has very little dialogue and most of the speech is omniscient narration.

A scientist is caught in a nuclear blast and is turned into a homicidal maniac. Essentially a silent film with narration.
