Stopheles      Much more realistic than THE DAY AFTER, which featured Jason Robards walking from Lawrence to Kansas City after KC was struck my a nuclear attack.

StanleyPain Damn, I could swear I saw this in the hopper at least 3 times in the last year or so, and each time it passed. Glad to finally see it the front page.

mon666ster      An hour of tension and build-up followed by an hour of mind-numbing human suffering. I can't believe they used to make TV movies like this.
