THIS MOVIE MUST BE RELEASE ON DVD! One of the best! I am a nuclear related film fan. I've seen pretty much everything out there from The Day After to Countdown to Looking Glass. The Day After has to be one of the best films on the nuclear topic I've seen. The movie starts out in Kansas, City moving between a perfect image of Hometown USA life to an ominous view of minuteman missile silos. The film shows the events that could lead us to the brink of World War III. It also depicts life after a limited nuclear exchange. The special effects in this film were simply inspirational and on a scale of which I have never seen used in a TV-Movie. The acting was fist class, and with names like Jason Robards, Steve Guttenberg, and John Lithgow how couldn't it be?? This is a must see for anyone concerned about the nuclear topic. Still packs a multi-megaton emotional wallop This made for television film first aired nearly 25 years ago while the Cold War was on - and it still packs the same sobering multi-megaton emotional wallop as it did back then. The story and scenes of human and animal tragedy and suffering will haunt for days afterwards. It's very good early 1980s period piece that fairly accurately depicts the rising Cold War tensions early in the Reagan administration. In a reprise of the Soviet blockade of Berlin two decades earlier in 1961, the plot begins with a Soviet blockade of access points between East and West Germany, following by the massing of troops on the border between East and West. When the Soviet bloc troops move across the border, NATO responds by unleashing tactical nuclear weapons on the invading forces, destroying two German cities in the process. The Soviet responds by targeting a NATO regional headquarters in England. It rapidly escalates from there to a major exchange of MIRVed ICBMs, including electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons that detonate high in the atmosphere and knock out all electrical and electronic equipment. All of the European developments are depicted via fast paced news reports and bulletins coming into a worried American heartland on what would have been an otherwise typical early September weekend as people went about and planned their lives. One of the more chilling scenes vividly depicts the contrast between normal life and unfolding nuclear exchange. Two children innocently watch television, unaware of the gravity of the situation, as their amorous parents slip upstairs for a quick interlude before breakfast. Suddenly a TV bulletin interrupts to report the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Europe. The scene then shifts to a nearby Strategic Air Command base as klaxons wail and B-52 crews scramble to get their planes into the air. The film is set in Kansas City and Lawrence, Kansas. Jason Robards puts in a fine performance as a doctor and the central character.
