The Damned (1963) follows a narrative that intertwines legal and illegal criminal activities. The story begins with an American tourist whose boat is stolen by a group of teenage boys, aided by the leader's sister. In a twist, she joins the tourist to evade her brother's incestuous jealousy, and together they embark on a perilous journey. Pursued by the entire gang, they inadvertently enter a highly classified military zone. The world teeters on the brink of a third and potentially atomic world war, where survival for ordinary humans seems impossible. However, a select group of children, born with natural radioactivity and cold blood, are believed to be the key to humanity's survival in the post-apocalyptic world. These children are taken to an underground facility where they are educated through television, led to believe they are on a spaceship en route to colonize Earth. The military project faces high mortality rates among the children, hinting at its potential failure. The military eventually encounters the gang, while the couple discovers the children and attempts to help them escape, leading to a series of psychological and horrifying events.
