I think I remember seeing that movie a long time ago on SciFi channel. Was the premise of the movie about the Cold War escalating into a nuclear war, and did it follow the lives of a family or something in a town that got hit by the blast?

When it was first played they had all kinds of warnings, so that it wouldn't panic people.
 It was pretty much an anti-Reagan propaganda effort. Basically, a nuke war would be reeeeal bad, we can't afford one, so we should stop this cowboy face-down of the Soviets and become their bitch. |

I can't watch it. My parents are recording two shows on the DVR and I can't watch a third channel.

Yup. I was only about 6 years old at most when that first aired on ABC back in 1983. I remember mom making me go to bed and not allowing me to watch it due to those warnings. But I got back up and watched it with dad. LOL. Yeah, I didn't like being shut out of the cool stuff, even at that age. Then the rest of the night after the movie, I remember lying awake in bed, wondering if every jet I heard passing overhead was a Soviet ICBM getting ready to incinerate my ass. Ahhhhhh, the good ol' days of The Cold War. |

Spousal Unit switched to FSU game.
 I guess that lacking video guidance, I'll revert to random homicide.

If that's your bailiwick, look out for a movie called "Threads" (It's on Google Video), which is an extremely chilling movie made in the UK in 1983 or so. It goes on to show the effects up to 20 years after a nuclear war.

I saw this when I was younger ('83 I would have been 6-7) . I was pretty much fine with it . my brother was totaly freeked by it though. he worried for months after about it and the "starwars talk" on the news and other stuff scarred him as well.

I was 21 when it came out and I remember they interviewed Sec. of State George Schultz right afterwards. Total propaganda.

"The Day After" was on sale at a local music/video store for $3.99 used.
They had about 20 of them, so I bought one as a training film. Steve |
