Review of The Day After (1983) by Mark S — 23 Sep 2016
A "very important movie" for 1983, "The Day After" aimed to show Americans what life in the aftermath of nuclear war would look like. It's not the most balanced portrait, focusing on the people who are instantly killed, and those condemned to a slow death from radiation poisoning.
In hindsight a lot of the information about electromagnetic pulse effects would probably have to be updated. But the movie is quite stark and reflects the best understanding of the day on the topic which possessed everybody's thoughts during the cold war.
