Check of the films of Peter Watkins:
Privilege
The War Game
The Gladiators
Punishment Park
A lot of 50's Sci-fi are sort of Satirical/Allegorical. They tend to fall into 2 camps:
1) Fear of Bomb/Fear of Nuclear Power - these are your basic giant monster movies from Godzilla to Them etc etc.
2) Fear of Communism/The Red under the bed - Films like Invasion of the body snatchers - I married a monster from outer space etc.
