I had a chemistry/physics teacher in high school who was once an officer in the Air Force. Ask him one question about that time of his life and we would escape any lesson he had planned for the day because he loved to share his experiences in the military. One story that stuck with me, and he told this one a couple of years after The Day After was released...he was allowed to witness a nuclear bomb detonation test once. After being trained to wear the goggles, plus a face covering, inside a concrete bunker with just a small window to look out of, they were instructed to face the opposite direction of the blast. He took it one step further and placed his hand over the multiple layers of eye protection he already had on. He said the flash from the detonation was so bright...for a very brief second he could see the bones inside his hand!!

[@lockman004]

I had a former coworker tell me that he was in a fox hole / trench assigned to watch a nuclear bomb detonation from a "safe" distance. He said even with all the protective gear and his eyes shut he could see the skeleton of the man standing next to him. Sadly he eventually passed away from cancer but it's impossible to know if it was related to his exposure to radioactivity in the military.

Threads is both amazing and horrifying. Compelling and upsetting in equal measure. What's also so good about it is that it looks much further in to the future, 15 years I seem to remember, after a nuclear war. The whole thing is pretty tough going but the very last scene is the stuff of nightmares. I saw it when it was screened on the BBC. I must have been about 17. I have never forgotten it.

And holding that metal plate on him would just give him a nice sear as that huge fireball cooked them both before the radiation could even kill them. It's not like heat conducts through metal or anything. That's not even touching on the fact that the nuke looks fake as shit, and is ridiculously small for even the first nukes made. They, and everything else around should have been instantly vaporized, with no chance to "run" from anything. Movie makers just really seem to have a hard time wrapping their head around how HUGE and instant a nuclear detonation is. It's not just a big regular explosion.

A lot of the dangerous fallout takes time to settle. If he were somehow uninjured by the sheer kinetic energy of the blast, he would have been protected from the instantaneous release of gamma rays by the lead, and could possibly escape much of the fallout if he acted quickly.

[@dannygjk]

Everything has become irradiated regardless of the fallout.

[@Evan_Bell]

Dan Kelly if you're protected from, or far away not to be injured by the blast, you're safe from the prompt gamma emission. For anything above 3kt, the 5psi blast radius (enough to crush civilian building, and definetly kill anyone in the open) the distance at which you'll be killed from prompt neutron and gammas is less. So will all currently stockpiled weapons, prompt gammas and neutrons aren't a problem, unless you're in a tank or something.. In a tank, you'll survive over 10 psi, but the neutron flux will get you.

So, I am just wondering. Why is it that people can believe that Indy can go on two rails in a mine cart, jump from one track to another in said mine cart, stop said mine cart with his feet (without the friction rubbing them into stumps), Fall out of an airplane 1000+ feet in the air in a rubber raft, float gently back to earth (without dying in said raft), then sled down a mountain (without freezing to death), and finally fall off of a 1000+ foot cliff and (again) gently land on a river RIGHT SIDE UP, yet they draw the line at surviving a nuclear explosion in a lead-lined refrigerator? Why is that? Won't anyone tell me?

[@user-mx8nr3sp6n]

@@russwaddel08 I don't believe that any of those stunts are believable in real life. It's a fictional movie so I apply a suspension of disbelief when I view those films.

The Day After was one of the most impactful and horrifying movies of all time. Aside from being the highest rated TV movie, it also aired all over the world, even the USSR, and is in large part responsible for the halt to the arms race that threatened the entire planet. Very hard to find on DVD or Bluray these days, but it's an absolute must for collectors.

[@crowxe]

i saw that movie almost 30 years ago, it sure wins #1 as a movie to display the impact of nuclear war. but the list title doesn't sound to be discussing that. if it's just about nuclear bombs then it must have mushrooms (excluding all space detonations) . my #1 choice would be "sum of all fears" ....it shows the shock wave in amazing way, and the mushroom displayed wafter the glow, not exactly what we think of or the ideal mushroom shape (which is a bold move by the director) but yeah, the bomb was collected from 30 years old ordinance and assembled in garage-like environment

[@alexphillips4663]

Absolutely. I watched it when it was first aired on TV, and the chills still get me when I see it today. The scene where the woman in a rural Nebraska home is tidying the house in preparation for wedding guests' arrival when a bright glow comes through the window, and the audience can see that a missile is launching from its underground silo... she sees it and furiously increases her effort to make the bed. Her husband comes in and tells her they have to get to the shelter, but she pushes him away without saying a word... He attempts to grab her but she starts pounding on his chest, and he again tells her they have to go, now. She sobs and screams at the same time. I may have gotten some of this wrong as it is coming straight from my memory... but just the thought of it. It's a nice day; the weather is fine, everyone is healthy, just a normal, pleasant day... and every one of them knows it's all over. Done. They are all dead, essentially, and that's if they're the lucky ones that got to die quickly. All the hope that the powers that be would turn this around and not push the button are things of the past; mutually assured destruction is now a fact. Once those missiles they saw went up, it was over. Everything they grew up with, the country and culture they were a part of, all of the things that occupy our day-to-day lives like work, watching TV, and having weddings... it's all gone, even while everything still looks exactly the same as it ever was (now that the ICBM has faded from view). That, for me, was the most horrifying part of the movie-- watching the American missiles go up, knowing that all hope is lost and everyone's fate is sealed. More so than watching the detonation of the Soviet weapons (though that was a close second). I've never really been one to be scared by movies. The usual ones that everyone mentions as being the most scary (Exorcist, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Alien, Children of the Corn, etc.) never did it for me... entertaining, at times, but not enough to really cause much of an emotional reaction. I was always too aware that it was a movie to feel anything myself. The Day After was different. It was fiction, of course, but it could have been real, in a way that none of the other movies could. Even though the Cold War is over now, thus putting TDA more into the group of can't happen movies (though nuclear war can still happen; it just won't be as portrayed), I still remember when the Cold War was real, so it will always be real to me. I wonder if a younger person who only knows about the Cold War from class in school would react the same way to this movie as those of us who lived it.

"Threads" is one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen. Far worse than "The Day After". It too depicts life generations after the blast and is as grim as you might imagine. No electric, no water, no food supplies, everyone fending for themselves, having to grow food themselves on eradiated fields once looting takes anything left, as the children being born suffer from horrible mutations. It really makes you realise how much you take your mundane life for granted, and that just being able to walk into a supermarket to get whatever you want can be taken away in the blink of an eye if society collapses.

Jack M I disagree. Terminator 2's ending was perfect. It left things ambiguous and hopeful that the protagonists efforts had averted Judgement Day. The open ended nature of it allowed viewers to use their imagination and interpret their own fate of the human race. Then Terminator 3 came along and dick slapped us with a shitty and frankly insulting ending where humanity was boned anyway which only left it open to two more horrifyingly bad sequels. Terminator 3 can suck my taint! As far as I'm concerned, every movie after 2 aren't canon and are just shitty cash grabs made by directors with the mental intelligence of bad fanfic writers.

The mushroom clouds were created by injecting colored oil plumes into a tank of water (which accounts for the fact that the clouds are dark red, rather than a more realistic hue). The footage of the missiles being prepared for launch was real, but the people in charge of America's nuclear arsenal felt that real footage of an American nuclear explosion (implying detonation on Russian soil as a potential first strike) would be seen as upsetting the Russians (who were very much on edge in 1983). Also having the Russians strike first was great propaganda material.

No mention of the scene from True Lies where Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis kiss while a nuclear bomb goes off in the background?

[@jonathandcc23]

nobody wants to see those two kiss again

Another honorable mention should be "When the Wind Blows" (1986). Poignant story of an elderly British couple that survives a nuclear war. It reminded me of Watership Down in its tone .

That one made me bawl my eyes out😢

Testament was similar - only set in the Pacific Northwest.

Threads is one of the most depressing films ever as is The Day After.

[@vxqce2098]

sean brown I’d have to say haunting of the hill house was the most depressing. Even though it’s not a movie but it’s a show

[@domxem5551]

Is any one of these not depressing?

[@normanwhite6677]

Don't forget "Testament."

The Day After was stunning. The day after it aired (no pun intended) the news and the limited social media of the day was awash by the accurate horror presented. It is alleged that both the goverenments of the U.S.S.R. and the U.S.A. came to some heart felt sobering thoughts and turned on peace negotiations at an intensity never felt before. The show woke the world up to reality not misplaced jingoism! Now if we could get rid of the C.I.A. and all other government (Former K.G.B. and MI6 and on and on) sinister spy agencies. Remember the song "What the World Needs Now" ala Dusty Springfield- HOW TRUE!!!

On the beach is pretty grim, as well, but the action takes place in an area to be devastated by fallout so it is a looming catastrophe.
