Comments: The film opens with tensions increasing between the Soviet Union and the United States. As the British people look on, the Soviets invade Iran and the Americans debate a retaliation. When nuclear weapons are used tactically, panic takes hold of the British Isles. Is nuclear winter unavoidable?

Not since the long-banned BBC documentary on nuclear war, The War Game, have I seen such a profounding upsetting documentary. Perhaps the effect is escalated by the mostly dramatic characters in this film, as only a small portion is a documentary? Or maybe it's because this film shows a potential aftermath of such a nuclear war?
