The tenth episode of the third season of The Twilight Zone, The Midnight Sun, aired November 17, 1961. Norma (Lois Nettleton) and her neighbor Mrs. Bronson (Betty Garde) suffer from an increasingly oppressive heat wave, caused when the Earth falls out of orbit and begins getting nearer to the sun.
The threat of nuclear apocalypse was a recurring theme in the Twilight Zone, since the Cold War was at its height during this time, but this episode is pure science fiction.
It also has one of the best twists at the end of any episode.
