Yes it's not a very new film and some of the special are showing their age but this is a pretty major league cast. Charlton Heston, Ava Gardener, Lorne Greene. Basically its the story of several people before, during and after a big quake. How many characters change in times of emergency (like Jody once he puts on his National Guard uniform). Heston doesn't really change that much, he's pretty much a hero through the whole film.
And he dies! Yep, thats the ending given away as it's a bit difficult to exactly work out what happens without watching the ending section several times through. He's saving Ava Gardener and gets swept under then she gets swept away as well and we're supposed to infer they die.
On the whole this is still a decent enough movie to provide entertainment, ignore some of the dodgy special effects. The good plot, script and cast make the movie what it is.
Well worth a look if you haven't seen it before, give it the chance it deserves.
