Originally a made for TV movie this controversial film shocked America, as it was the first film to realistically portray the effects of nuclear war on the general public. 

 

This movie focuses on the after effects of nuclear war on society. It follows a few survivors as the wake up to a world where the unimaginable has become reality. Mushroom clouds bellowing smoke in the distance and an atmosphere choked in radioactive dust causing near invisibility are just a few of the harsh conditions these survivors must brave as they wander through the ruined landscape searching for help and missing loved ones.

 

Although not as gritty as Threads (the British equivalent,) it certainly was a wake up call to many Americans as was the movie Testament

 

Editors Rating: 9/10
