"The ABC telefilm drew a staggering 100 million viewers, an audience that at the time was second only in non-sports programming to the series finale of M*A*S*H. According to Nielsen, 62 percent of all U.S. televisions in use that night were tuned in."
Saw this movie when I was 8 years old. I was not quite myself after that. I still recall scenes of desolation and despair in the faces of those who survived. Its a cautionary tale to any who think nukes are the way to go........
when this came out...we were living in Germany(west) on an Army Base(Würzburg).I played around the silo's with Nuclear Weapons in them.Jesus the drills dad had to do. Endless protestors , Army jeeps with Big Guns running up and down the length of fence It was a scary time Thank You for taking me back to my childhood.
First time I saw a "We interrupt this program" years after seeing this movie as a child I started crying because I believed they only interrupted program in this kind of event. Thank you for putting it up!!!

Kristerlund-Actually nuclear power is cleaner, safer, and cheaper than our most commonly used forms of power generation like coal fire plants. It has gotten bad press due to the tragedies of Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima. I dare you to do the research.
