I remember this as a movie (not a very good one at that) with a quite different ending. To annihilate ourselves this time, we don't invent a better bomb, we create a plant: one that provides a new and superior source of vegetable oil. Great! Except that it is can transplant itself, reproduces quickly, has a form of intelligence, and in its adult stage is a carnivore. Wow! Now it has spread all over the world and is taking over. And, it seems, that only bumbling old British ingenuity can stem the tide. But, can they eradicate it? This has to be one of the all-time Sci-Fi classics.
