This scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. Ahhh, those simple days when all you had to worry about was thermonuclear war with the USSR.

Great Britain had "protect and survive"...and all we Americans had was the Emergency Broadcast System.."if this had been an actual emergency..state federal and local officials would broadcast important information"...some shit like that...

[TheKarmacafe]

this film is excellent...the Day After was okay in my opinion..the part of the Day After that scared me the most was when the Strategic Air Command officer anounced "over 300 missiles inbound now"...then the scene cuts to the siren wailing and the bell tolling..scary shit!.
