The Day After (1983)

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. high school, environmental protection agency, nuclear war, isolation, darkness, radiation, chaos, refugee, refugee camp, cold war, insanity, nuclear radiation, delirium, hysteria, kansas, usa, lawlessness, end of the world, nuclear explosion, nuclear holocaust, disaster, apocalypse, armageddon, anarchy, nuclear, nuclear threat, nuclear fallout, mushroom cloud, disfigurement, radiation sickness, catastrophe, revolver, nightmare becomes reality, world war iii, epa, mass destruction, emp, mass grave, mass killing, destroyed city, nuclear winter, psychotronic film, post apocalypse, ensemble cast, college campus, danger, pandemonium
