It is the mid-1980s. An aggressive Soviet leadership orders troops marched to the border of West Berlin, and then decides to invade West Germany with multiple armored tank & troop divisions. In Lawrence, Kansas - on the border with Missouri - a family is preparing for the wedding of their eldest daughter, and Dr. Oakes is keeping busy in his role as chief of surgery in the small University Hospital at Lawrence. These people go on with their daily lives but are drawn closer to the possibility of a nuclear war, as the Russians use a nuclear ballistic missile against a West German city, and then... attack a U.S. warship in the Persian Gulf. The Americans strike back by hitting a Soviet ship, and then the Russians hit NATO regional headquarters with a nuclear warhead! People start creating makeshift fallout shelters in their basements, but many are caught off guard when, 1 at a time, nuclear missiles are launched from their silos along the Kansas - Missouri border. USAF officers then announce that 300+ ICBMs are inbound to the U.S., and 2 of them strike Kansas City, Missouri! Many are killed outright, but still more must face the danger of radioactive fallout. Now, the characters we follow are living in a barren, devastated world - devoid of electricity, safe drinking water, and food - and filled with radioactivity, starvation, and disease... in the horrific aftermath of 'The Day After'...

The Day After
The effect of nuclear war and its aftermath on several Kansas families makes for a mild diversion in this lavish television movie directed by Nicholas Meyer. The impact of the twin explosions, subsequent radiation poisoning, looting and firing squads moving in to assess the damage, is lessened due to network-imposed soft-pedalling of the true horrors. But the keen eye kept on the more personally-felt traumas of the grim situation gives a better than average focus as the apocalypse victims try to rebuild society. The A-list cast, including Steve Guttenberg, John Lithgow and Jason Robards, rise to the often heavy-handed occasion.

I remember seeing this the 1st time on TV and it brought back the same sense of dread that humanity will live this out one day. Knowing what I know now, I see the issue is not the weapons of war, but that mankind will use whatever means we have to destroy the each other. Thank God He will intervene in His time to save us all from what we would do to each other.
I too saw this movie when it came out on TV years ago. It is scary, which it is intended to be. A lot of people though never felt that Russia would be the ones we be dealing with in the event of nuclear attack. A lot of people feel a Mid-East country would be the party we be dealing with. Even more so today with the way the world is. I rate this film a 4/5.
