Doomsday device
A doomsday device is a hypothetical construction — usually a weapon — which could destroy all life on a planet, particularly the Earth, or destroy the planet itself (bringing "doomsday", a term used for the end of planet Earth).
Doomsday devices have been present in literature and art especially in the 20th century, when advances in science and technology made world destruction (or at least the eradication of all human life) a credible scenario. Many classics in the genre of science fiction take up the theme in this respect.
After the advent of nuclear weapons, especially hydrogen bombs, they have usually been the dominant components of doomsday devices. RAND strategist Herman Kahn, collaborating with risk analyst Ian Harold Brown, proposed a "Doomsday Machine" in the 1950s which would consist of a computer linked to a stockpile of hydrogen bombs, programmed to detonate them all and bathe the planet in nuclear fallout at the signal of an impending nuclear attack from another nation. Such a scheme, fictional as it was, epitomized for many the extremes of the suicidal logic behind the strategy of mutually assured destruction, and it was famously parodied in the Stanley Kubrick film from 1963, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. It is also a main topic of the 1970 movie Beneath the Planet of the Apes, in parallel with the species extermination theme. Most such models either rely on the fact that hydrogen bombs can be made arbitrarily large assuming there are no concerns about delivering them to a target (see Teller–Ulam design) or that they can be "salted" with materials designed to create long-lasting and hazardous fallout (e.g.; a cobalt bomb).

He's gonna bring it
back here!
1:00:10
All right.
1:00:11
All right, he's had enough.
1:00:19
Go, London!
1:00:24
Come on!
Move 'em out!
1:00:27
Come on!
Grab those guys!
1:00:36
You, you, you!
1:00:55
He would have killed you.
1:00:56
He doesn't feel things.
1:00:58
That's the only way
he can do what he does.
1:01:03
Here. Take this.
1:01:05
Iodine.
1:01:07
Hurts like hell,
but it kills anything.

Goldfinger
1:20:00
You plan to break into
the world's largest bank
1:20:04
but not to steal anything.
1:20:06
Why?
1:20:08
Go on, Mr Bond.
1:20:09
Mr Ling, the Red Chinese agent
at the factory?
1:20:12
He's a specialist in nuclear fission...
1:20:17
But of course!
His government's given you a bomb.
1:20:21
I prefer to call it an atomic device.
1:20:24
It's small but particularly dirty.
1:20:26
- Cobalt and iodine?
- Precisely.
1:20:29
If you explode it in Fort Knox, the...
1:20:33
...entire gold supply of the United States
will be radioactive for...
1:20:38
...57 years.
1:20:40
58, to be exact.
1:20:42
I apologise, Goldfinger.
It's an inspired deal.
1:20:46
They get what they want -
economic chaos in the West.
1:20:49
And the value of your gold
increases many times.
1:20:52
I conservatively estimate... ten times.
1:20:56
Brilliant.
1:20:59
But the atomic device, as you call it,
1:21:02
is already, obviously, in this country.
1:21:05
Obviously.
