During the 1980s, popular fear of World War III spurred moviemakers
to produce dozens of nuclear threat films. Categories ranged from
monster movies to post-apocalyptic adventures to realistic
depictions of nuclear war and its immediate aftermath.Coverage of
atomic angst films isn't new, but this is the first book to solely
analyze 1980s nuclear threat movies as a group. Entries range from
classics such as The Day After and WarGames to obscurities such as
Desert Warrior and Massive Retaliation. Chronological coverage of
the 121 films released between 1980 and 1990 includes production
details, chapter notes, and critical commentaries.
