Originally aired on the BBC in the 1980s this film Shocked an entire generation. It’s a realistic and harrowing account of the effects of nuclear war and its victims.

 

The film follows two families as their lives are dramatically changed, when all out nuclear war results in their city (Sheffield) being hit by a nuclear missile.
What ensues is a horrific account of horrendous deaths, grief, starvation and radiation sickness, and resultant acts of utter desperation and hopelessness. The film closes by documenting their progress in the years following the initial attack. Revealing a country and population that’s slowly decaying to a level of existence not seen since the dark ages

Although the movie is now very dated it still leaves you speechless as the credits roll. It’s one of the most haunting movies I’ve ever seen and a true testament to the folly of nuclear war and war in general.

 

Editors Rating: 9/10
