This genuinely put the shits up a few generations of Brits back at the tail end of the Cold War. Still gives me chills today.

That lady weeing herself is burned into a generation’s memory.
Even in Canada, we saw this film in school not long after it was released. I think I saw it in 1988 at age 14. I will never forget it. I’ve watched it approximately one every decade since then.
“A Guide to Armageddon” was the other one shown on the BBC, a half-hour QED documentary. It’s still on YouTube.
Both are absolutely terrifying.
It’s such an amazing film, used to be so hard to find though I don’t care for the end part.
What was the American nuclear apocalypse movie? That’s the one I saw. Broadly similar in content and cultural effect.
That’s it. I kept thinking “The Day After Tomorrow”, but I was like, “No, that’s that ridiculous climate movie where the world froze in 24 hours.”
