  • @gogohappygirl It showed in Seattle about that time, too. Tell you what, it not only terrified me, but a lot of my neighbors and friends as well.

  • @antourte1 Want a boom? Eat chili and wait an hour. Problem solved.

  • @antourte1 - you fail. This is a docudrama, which explains and plays out what could have happened during the escalation of tensions during The Cold War. They aren't going to start the programme with a nuclear warhead exploding without building up dramatic tension - that would make boring television. If you want the boom, try part 5 or wherever it happens.

  • 10 MINUTES IN AND NO BOOM YET? FAIL

  • @HYDRAdude No, she didn't, but the point I'm trying to make is that the film is not about that, and compared with the total annihilation of all mankind, I thought it was a small point. Plus, the film was made in 1984, and people were not so aware of things like that.

  • @doctorofghetto This was never banned from the BBC. Infact it was produced and distributed by BBC. You could be thinking of The War Game.

  • @raphael44ify Let me guess, your mother must of drunk plenty while carrying you I take it?

  • @HYDRAdude Oh that's just stupid and completely beside the point

  • Because I sure as hell don't hear from either our politicians nor media as America hurtles itself towards WW3 and most likely, Nuclear Holocaust. Truly insane times.

  • I haven't seen this movie in years until some months ago on youtube. Interestling enough, you actually have to bypass existing copyright laws as I can find no copies on Netflix nor anywhere else! But back on topic, it's amazing what insane times we live in in the year 2012. Where are the movies like 'Threads' coming out these days which could at least knock some common sense into the war mongering psychopaths screaming "NUKE IRAN!" or "Bomb, bomb Iran!"? Is it just a collective ignorance?
