Theodore P Mar 16, 2019 Amazing depiction of the aftermath of a nuclear strike. Usually a film concerns itself with the events leading up to war or the actual war. In this film those events were simplified with radio and TV messages. It was interesting that all events happened in Kansas of all places. Tons of gruesome deaths starting with the incinerated during the initial impact, and then those affected by the Fallout. It is a great piece of cinema that not only did its duty in scaring people from wanting a nuclear war, but also showed them what people should do in case it does happen. It was an interesting point that the movie never states who initially dropped the first atomic bomb. Being a United States film it easily could have been turned into propaganda against the USSR, but instead tiptoes the line almost to be a movie to unite the two nations against such a war. See more

Harry G Aug 14, 2018 For its era, this is a pretty good shocking film although understandably some of the SFX and acting is a bit tacky but I enjoyed this film. See more

Rey R Jun 23, 2018 Remarkably convincing depiction of nuclear holocaust in America, the apocalypse that my generation was taught to dread, with good reason. When the mushroom clouds blossom over Lawrence, Kansas, an icy chill went through my heart, and I found myself asking, not rhetorically, "Can we really have been so stupid as to deliberately construct such a threat to ourselves?'

Anakin M Jun 17, 2018 Gripping, impactful, powerfully emotional, and important to see in this day in age. If one does not see the devastation and atrocities of nuclear war on our planet after watching this picture, then they must be stone headed or inhuman. See more

Harry S Sep 4, 2017 Who ever made movies with pomp and pageant and much elaboration about a nuclear holocaust, would be outdated and null when taken into perspective what this movie has depicted. See more

Leia P Feb 12, 2017 170212: This film is good for a 1983 made for television movie. Features many big stars. Still makes me cringe years later. What I find strangely interesting is that no one seems to talk about the potential for nuclear holocaust now. The Day After may be dated but is still worth watching. Be warned, especially if the black dog chases you around, it's pretty damn dark. See more
