"The Day After" is a television film that aired in 1983. Directed by Nicholas Meyer, it portrays the events leading up to and following a nuclear war between NATO forces and the Warsaw Pact, with a particular focus on the residents of Lawrence, Kansas. The film depicts the devastation caused by the nuclear exchange and the struggles of the survivors to cope with the aftermath, including radiation sickness, societal collapse, and the breakdown of civilization. "The Day After" was notable for its realistic portrayal of the effects of nuclear war and sparked widespread debate and discussion about nuclear disarmament and the consequences of global conflict.
"Testament" is a 1983 drama film directed by Lynne Littman. Set in a small suburban town in Northern California, the film follows the struggles of a family and their community in the aftermath of a nuclear attack on the United States. The story primarily focuses on Carol Wetherly, played by Jane Alexander, a mother who must navigate the challenges of survival and maintain hope for her children amidst the devastation.
As society crumbles and resources become scarce, the characters face increasingly difficult choices and must confront their own mortality. "Testament" offers a poignant portrayal of human resilience, compassion, and the bonds that hold communities together in times of crisis. The film received critical acclaim for its powerful performances and sensitive exploration of the emotional and psychological toll of nuclear war.
"Threads" is a British television drama that aired in 1984. Directed by Mick Jackson, it is a harrowing and realistic depiction of the effects of a nuclear war on the city of Sheffield, England. The story follows the lives of several characters before, during, and after the nuclear attack, illustrating the breakdown of society, the struggles for survival, and the long-term consequences of radiation exposure. - บันเทิง
Threads is a very realistic movie. All the cast did a great job
"THREADS" 🇬🇧
I was a teenager when I watched Threads back in the early 80s... that movie freaked me out! I hadn't seen it since. About a yr ago, I was talking with someone about it & after I bought a copy from eBay. I have to say it still resonates today. The most realistic portrayal of nuke war & its aftermath. When that young girl screamed at the sight of her baby at the end, wow, you know humanity is f****d
When the Wind Blows. Animated film that truly shows the aftermath of nuclear war.
I remember the animated movie. Truly sad one.
I'll check that one out
"On the Beach" 1959. A nuclear sub surfaces after WW III ends carrying sailors who are some of the last survivors on Earth. Chilling.
Never watched the original, just a remake which I found a great and stunning performance of Armando Asante!
@@minutebeforemidnight Gregory Peck is far better in the 1959 version. Both good though.
Testament is underrated, probably what most people would have to deal with.
I agree. It's a great movie. Very hard to watch, though!
Some people liked “Threads”, but I didn’t. Primarily because they went cheap and didn’t spend money on showing graphics of the warheads launching and detonating. We just get a screen card telling us some bombs hit somewhere.
Threads and The Day After, both are great in their own way, already knew what would happen after reading Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivor accounts (and yes while they were horrifying in themselves they're peanuts compared to nukes that came later and now) and all the other info I read out there. But watching them helped me put it all into perspective.
Right until last year I'd think of survival as well as prevention, now I'm just all about prevention. I'm not a parent, I've nobody to rely on me after an attack, I barely fit in now and get picked on so I dread to think what most people would be like after and physically and mentally I'm already not well, I would not do well surviving a nuke. So now I'd choose to stay at ground zero, but I'd rather they never happen.
Please anyone sees this, i know it's easy to think you can't do anything, but please join a CND or Global Zero. With enough protest we can work on getting rid of these things, no matter where we are.
There are no winners in any war, but especially nuclear war.
I would add "The War Game" (1966) to this list. Definitely worth a watch if you liked the other three mentioned here.
I never watched that one. Thanks for the tip!
The Bed Sitting Room is a wild post apocalypse dark comedy
I'll check it out. Never watched it. Thanks for the tip.
A real scenario would be a lot worse. In reality, large cities & national capitals would be targeted, not a bunch of small towns & minor cities.
The all time best one will be out in November 2024, unfortunately no one will be alive to see it in theaters.
Why November? Elections?
I've seen it . .....
But I was looking forward to Christmas!
The Day After, when compared to Threads, was soft. The soldiers coming in to clean up afterwards... yer sure, as if! Totally unrealistic
Yet it made such an impact. They say it left such an impression on the President Regan that he decided to sign the treaty with Soviets on reducing the nuclear arsenal….
@@minutebeforemidnight well I suppose he hadn't seen Threads. I mean The Day After was ok and all. It featured some harrowing scenes for sure. But for the long term looksee of, not just the day after but the generation after, Threads is truly shocking
Anyone remember Damnation Alley? I think it was called that.
Yes. 1977. George Peppard and Jan-Michael Vincent.
Yes... loved that movie as a kid. Never liked cockroachs after seeing it, but I don't think it has held up well by today's standards 🤔
Thanks for the tip. I'll watch it.
