The Day After (1983)

The effects of a devastating nuclear holocaust on small-town residents of eastern Kansas!

No matter how poorly the effects or the acting, or how graphic and extravagant the visuals were all these films serve one purpose. To educate us on the value we have as creatures that not only have control over our individual destinies but the destiny of our world and the lesser species. To show us what the cost would be, no matter how graphic and obscene. The Day After, Threads, Testament, The War Game, Failsafe, Wargames, and all the other media programming that has shown us the horror of nuclear war. Each has its strengths and flaws, its highs and lows, but the message inherrently remains the same.

Directed by Nicholas Meyer Starring: Jason Robards, JoBeth Williams, Steve Guttenberg
