When a NATO jet crashes on a remote Greek island with a secret nuclear payload, the crew goes undercover—just as the island turns into a tourist hotspot. Chaos, absurdity, and Cold War paranoia collide in this outrageous satirical comedy. Bikini-clad tourists, clueless locals, and radioactive secrets... what could possibly go wrong?
A psychedelic burst of 1960s satire and style, this original UK quad poster for The Day the Fish Came Out captures the bold, colourful chaos of Michael Cacoyannis’ cult-classic comedy. Released by 20th Century Fox, this film followed his iconic Zorba the Greek—but dove headfirst into wildly different territory.
