Anecdotes
Toward the end of his life, Paul Newman confessed in interviews that this was the only film that he ever made entirely for the money. He called it "that volcano movie" and said that he and most of the cast knew right away it would be a flop from day one. Many people believe that part of his salary from this film was used as seed money for a salad dressing business he was setting up with A.E. Hotchner, with 100% of the profits, after taxes, going to educational and charitable organizations. As of 2022 Newman's Own, the company that Newman established in 1982, has raised over $550 million for charities all over the world, and continues to grow and prosper.

Gaffes
An oil rig drilling into the side of a volcano triggers the eruption. Oil fields are not found on or near active volcanoes; there is not enough time between eruptions for any petroleum products to form or be deposited.

Be kind to this movie

I faithfully watch When Time Ran Out every time it comes on television, and am never bored by it. I had no idea it was such a terrible movie until I read these reviews on IMDB. Sigh...reviewers can be so cruel. At least now I know that I have bad taste in movies so you can stop reading this now if you like.

There are a lot of familiar faces in the cast and they do a good job. This is my favorite Paul Newman movie by the way. (But to be honest I don't watch many Paul Newman movies.) Edward Albert is also great in it, and even though his role is too small, he does get to be heroic but don't blink or you will miss those moments. The women aren't given too much to do but aint that always the way it goes. Sigh again... I did like Veronica Hamel's little bitty role. She was classy but stupid. Should have hooked up with Edward Albert.

This movie is a great soap opera with love, betrayal, danger, greed, and a dastardly villain. Oh, and the way some of the characters die is kinda funny. Sort of like every other disaster movie from the 70's and early 80's. So cut it a little slack why don't you.
