Issue of Nuclear Annihilation on film


I was just wondering what was the first film to explore nuclear annihilation.

"Unknown World" is an early one.

It seems that just searching this on the web doesn't bring up satisfactory answers.

Hoping for some thoughts out there on the subject, or a website with a definitive answer.

I think this was the first to approach this subject in the Cold War period. Two 1945 movies had already dealt with the secret atomic bomb formula. They were:-

Shadow of Terror
The Red Dragon
