Default Film - The Day After

NOT to be confused with the film "The Day After Tomorrow" - which is a totally different film alltogether

Anyone who is interested in the Nuclear stuff that has promoted a lot of talk lately needs to see this film.

I have had it on DVD for ages but never watched it, untill this morning - what an awesome film

Basically, it is a drama about the consequences of a superpower nuclear attack in the USA. The story follows a couple of charactors right from the first notion of war untill the full blown bombing - with some excellent effects for a film made 6 or so years ago

Well worth the 2 hours the film runs for

Linky to it on ebay here:

It's a horrific film, but shows a true point in what would happen. The effects are fantastic.
