On the Beach (1959) was remade in 2000. I haven't watched the remake, just the original in black and white.

The world has finally managed to blow itself up and only Australia has been spared from nuclear destruction and a gigantic wave of radiation is floating in on the breezes. One American sub located in the Pacific has survived and is met with disdain by the Australians. The calculations of...

Huh, I wonder how much that movie inspired Death Stranding 2: On the Beach which takes place in Australia.

Ah ok. Seems like These Final Hours still borrowed liberally from that story, because once again it is Australia, except this time they are just waiting for the firestorm to reach them after a massive meteor hit in the Atlantic and is wiping the world clean. And the movie ends on the beach no less, if I remember correctly. A quick google doesn't really show too many people making the comparison though, so maybe since I haven't seen them both I'm way off. Sounds really similar though. You might want to check it out all the same.

On the Beach (1959) is almost like doom porn. It's just showing how people react differently to incoming unstoppable death. There is a side quest with the sub, but its just there to set up some false hope. The ending really did sort of surprise me with the sub crew. I didn't expect Hollywood would go that route.
