[@wardenphil]

That is absolutely correct. Another issue is the dosage received from internal contamination. When a person inhales or ingests fallout particles, they get irradiated from within - and this continues even if they escape the hot zone. The total radiation dosage can literally be orders of magnitude higher than that suggested by normal measuring equipment. This is why the GIs involved in the 1950's Nuclear Tests have gotten so sick, despite relatively low Dosimeter readings.

I'm a huge fan of Greg Peck and Ava Gardner (and Fred Astaire!), but I have to say, this film was much better than I expected. Much better. In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb and say, I enjoyed it more than the original. Yes, for me, it was more emotional. I didn't choke up when watching the original. I did here. I generally do not like remakes at all. But for some reason, this one got to me. I particularly liked Bryan Brown's character. Thanks for the upload.

[@scottpasse4420]

The big issue that I have with this movie or the 1959 version is it shows the radioactivity (fallout) spreading across the entire globe and killing everything and everyone. That would not happen, even in an all out exchange. Don’t get me wrong, perhaps hundreds of millions would die initially. But radiation falls off in a number of days. More would probably die of starvation due to the collapse of our industrial society. So I believe that some number of primitive tribal societies would survive, and mankind would start over. In any case, It’s a fantastic story and movie.

@GoingGoingGalt I agree the premise of the book and movie that radiation from nuclear weapons would spread over the world via wind patterns and stay permanently like posion gas is now out of date. The book was of its times when nuclear hydrogen bombs tests were taking places like Australia and the South Pacific. In the Pacific there were large amounts contamination of radiation from these large explosions. It was only natural to think that in a nuke war the same would happen to wider area.

Titled, "Lucifer's Hammer," that is worthy of a film. Might round that book up too, if you have time for the read. It's thick.

This movie, the 1959 movie and the book are all good versions of a powerful story. Remember, though, it's fiction. In the real world a nuclear war would not cover the earth evenly like someone spreading butter on a slice of bread. Most of the radioactive fallout would decay to safe levels in a few days. yes, there would be places in the world you would not be able to go to for years but other parts would not be affected.

[@jephrokimbo9050]

not quite. the radioactive fallout will eventually cover the entire globe to varying degrees of radioactivity. in addition the smoke, particulates and gases released from the destruction would continue to circulate through the atmosphere of the entire earth. there may be some places that are "minimally" affected but much of the air, soil, and water will be polluted for decades if not for centuries to come. plant life would be affected the greatest initially and then animal life and eventually all human life.

Yes, we are. But there have been other close-calls with nuclear weapons. For example on January 25, 1995, when the Russian systems interpreted the launch of a Norwegian scientific research rocket as an American first-strike SLBM. The Russian "nuclear football" was activated by President Boris Yeltsin (that drunk) and might've been used. What I'm saying is that there shouldn't even be a possibility that WMDs would be used accidentally, but regrettably that's not the case.

Splendid rendition of Shute's profoundly depressing "Better Red Than Dead" book. Several changes from the book and 1959 version that work very well. Luke the book, factually challenged.

Even as a teen I watched this movie and realized it was just a Hollywood creation with very little to do with reality. The better red than dead group touted all of this for decades right through the nuclear freeze movement of the 80's(which turned out to be largely funded by the Soviet Union). I understand some of the more radical ones committed suicide when the Soviet Union collapsed and Communism was completely discredited

I wish I thought so. I have followed this issue since graduate school, where I took a course in nuclear weapons and national security. We cataloged and documented the likely reasons we had not had a nuclear exchange. None of those reasons exist now, due to proliferation more than any other factor. And what's funny is declassified docs show just how close we came back then. The closest was the situation the night of 9-26-83, a day I was in that class.

@ludocrat Oh, right - they do sort of address the issue and call it "high altitude spillage" (which is an interesting idea). The only problem with that is the deflection is just as powerful at higher altitudes. It's unlikely much "spillage" would occur. I suppose the sheer scale of the devastation might cause some kind of global atmospheric disruption, but it's not likely. Even so, it's kind of nice they at least nodded at the science in this remake. And I shan't say another word about it ;)

[@ZemplinTemplar]

@LibertyTreeBud Disasters at nuclear plants are far less devastating than an all-out global nuke war.

And then man uttered upon to God,"We are our own,and you are not in control",and that is the day man decided his own fate,by his own hand. Images of things to come.

Yup When they said Twain chills went down my spine now in 2023 this intro is becoming more of a reality everyday. Unfortunately Folks It's like one my favorite songs Keep Talking from my favorite bands Pink Floyd when Stephen Hawking did his famous Commercial in the 90s saying as long as Mankind keeps communicating the human race still has a chance to turn it around no matter how close we get to another catastrophic global disaster like now we face in 2023. My family who faught in WW2 so this never happens again unfortunately they now see all the ingredients are again like it was in 1937 only with hypersonic nukes and way more powerful and devastating warfare weapons on terrifying scale never thought possible it's almost incomprehensible to the mass destruction this will cause. If you think the most disturbing and scary movie in history (Threads) which is about a nuclear war and worst aftermath this world will ever see specially for the human race that won't go on like it used to ever again if somehow the radioactive ☢️ones that can't reproduce anymore and.grow crops in this radioactive ☢️ wasteland well unfortunately scientists say it will be much much worse than even the apocalyptic that surpasses another great WW3 ending of a movie On the Beach made in the 1950s and here the 2000s now 23 years later from this movie all the catastrophic ingredients are there and Twain will be the catalyst that launches it Finally Once and For All into a point of know return this time because this will be are Extinction Level Event definitely 100 % if it goes nuclear specially with the new hypersonic arms race of this Century that already started and the doomsday ⌚ in the beginning of this year shows us were the closest to midnight and are demise than anytime in history
