''Gas-s-s-s'' (also known as ''Gas! or It Became Necessary to Destroy the World in Order to Save It'') was a 1971 Motion Picture produced and released by American International Pictures . It was Producer Roger Corman 's final film for AIP, before leaving to found his own New World Pictures .

The movie is a Post-apocalyptic Dark Comedy , about survivors of an accidental military Gas Leak , of an experimental agent that kills everyone on Earth over the age of twenty-five. (A cartoon Title Sequence shows a John Wayne -esque Army General announcing - and denouncing - the "accident"; the story picks up after the victims have died.)

The lead characters, Coel and Cilla, were played by Bob Corff and Elaine Giftos , and the cast also features Ben Vereen , Cindy Williams , Bud Cort and Talia Shire in early roles. Country Joe McDonald makes an appearance, as spokesman "AM Radio".

''Gas-s-s-s'' found a fresh airing on with '' Wild In The Streets '', another AIP movie.
