The Day After (1983)

They told us it would be impossible to make this movie. They told us it would be impossible for you to watch it. We hope nothing is impossible.

Directed by Nicholas Meyer2h 7mScience Fiction,Drama,TV Movie

In the mid-1980s, the U.S. is poised on the brink of nuclear war. This shadow looms over the residents of a small town in Kansas as they continue their daily lives. Dr. Russell Oakes maintains his busy schedule at the hospital, Denise Dahlberg prepares for her upcoming wedding, and Stephen Klein is deep in his graduate studies. When the unthinkable happens and the bombs come down, the town's residents are thrust into the horrors of nuclear winter.
