Film that emphasizes the fear of nuclear aftermath during the Reagan/Thatcher era. Had promise but character development and relationships weak. The acting was decent but what little story there is seems to fall apart as the last 45 minutes just seems to last forever with images of dead people and people foraging, fighting and getting killed over scraps of food. Who would have thought a nuclear holocaust film could get boring, well this one doesn't disappoint on the yawn scale. Surprise shock ending....everyone dies a miserable death, probably realistic but nothing we didn't learn about atomic bombs during the Cold War. When the Wind Blows does a better job in just 80 minutes.
