It is a classic still up there as one of my fav movies

I was 20 when this came out and yet never even heard of it til now. Wow a powerful movie

I have to disagree with you, OP. This is one of those masterpieces that should be left as-is.

The constant reboots and backstory movies out now needs to stop. The great things about movies like this is that they represent the ways and thinking of it’s era, for the good, bad and ugly. By rebooting these things, is you end up changing the entire vibe of the movie.

I think they should just make a Fallout movie/TV series

I was 28 and didn't know about it either. I didn't have cable TV or satellite TV then, so I guess that's why.

Seen it HBO when I was 15

Yeah but movies always get things wrong. I can't watch movies about my field for the same reason.

I used to box.. ( no not tomatoes..) Rocky was like Laugh In for me... But, you have to take in stride.. That's why it's called Hollywood.. That aside, I had the pleasure of being James Earl Jones driver once. Picked him up at LAX years ago, brought him to his hotel. Sat next to me in the front seat. The word Gentleman doesn't begin to describe him. And of course you know I still have the $20 spot tip he pulled out of his wallet. I mean c'mon, when Vader gives you a tip, you just gotta keep it..

Thank u for ur service --my brother was on Gaum --Navy --was the first on the radio to hear USS Pueblo being attacked ! Way back

Would nuclear attacks disable communications after impact? Would it create an EMP effect? Just curious.

@@RSTI191 Wow! You have had quite a life! James Earl Jones is definitely one of my very favorite actors. You're lucky to have been able to meet him in real life. 🙂

An EMP has to be 300 miles above the Midwest due to line of sight to even have the greatest effect. And that’s a waste because national command authority infrastructure is designed to survive emp effects anyway. Russians wouldn’t waste a good bomb to shutdown your cellphone.

But it seems it would paralyze so much more than just cell phones. Seems there are more than enough nukes to go around just to make the rubble bounce. Isn’t destabilization and paralysis of electricity, communications and way of life the point of an emp?

For more than 30 years now, you can shut the lights off with a cyber attack or something like a graphite bomb, which the US used in the Balkans, for example. Precious nuclear warheads need to be used to hit strategic assets - like the other guy’s nukes! Besides, to have the most effect a nuclear device needs to be detonated up to 1000 miles high, nearly 5 times higher than the average satellite, and directly above the Midwest due to line-of-sight.

@@rickm6076 oh yes true. I suppose there are much easier and effective ways to cripple infrastructure such as with cyberattacks now. Does seem overkill to use a nuke when software will do!

They may still fly. China the threat now.

Very much so...

lol is awful

People give no thought to nuclear weapons at all. This is dangerous ignorance. 5/10/21

IT MOST DEFINITELY WILL HAPPEN...

I don't think the younger generation is afraid of nuclear war like my generation was in the 80's. Even after the cold war was "over," because of stolen nuclear weapons and the continual unrest in Middle Eastern countries, I've never lost the fear of a possible nuclear attack. I watched "The Day After" with my daughter as soon as she was old enough to understand what was going on. Parents need to educate themselves and teach their children what to do in the event of a nuke attack (ie duct tape windows and vents, shelter in place) nowadays. Having at least a two week supply of food, water and supplies for each family member and pets is an excellent idea as well. If possible, they need to have some kind of defense plan in case of looters. Finally, families should store garden supplies and seeds because I guarantee people will need to grow their own food for awhile. Idk how soon it would be safe to grow food in the ground after a nuclear attack or if anything will even grow in the ground, but it's better to be prepared just in case.

Especially with a half wit like Biden in charge.

Politics aren’t necessary here. Also I mean he did extend the START treaty so… 👀

I just heard that as I read it

The real question is how did they smuggle a fully functional presumably megaton range nuke with a medium range missile into Turkey? To then launch it towards the Soviet Union. Its a very roundabout way of starting WW3. What did they say to turkish cops 'Oh its a prop for a movie.'?

He altered the deal. Pray he doesn't alter it further...

James Earl Jones was also on Doctor Strangelove....on a B52

@@Shad0hawK Did not know that. Man just got even more awesome.

Contemplate this on the tree of woe.

He is disturbed by your apparent lack of faith

Well you might live it again with the Socialists in power i.e. The Democrats

@@NYFreeman Tragically.

@@NYFreeman when they feel like all is lost then the coocoo liberals they put in charge will take nukes from stockpiles and plant them in conservative areas

@@spankthemonkey3437 Time to put down the meth pipe, MAGAt.

That’s what I’m afraid of. Possibly no warning and even then only a few minutes if that.

All nuke missiles are hypersonic

@@chevyjohnson7457 not dropped from bombers but true ICBMs are during re-entry phase. I was referring to maneuverable hypersonic weapons, such as Russian Avangard missiles.

By the time we heard the meow, it'll all be over 😆

That's why it's imperative to have the potential POTUS get a full psychological testing. Regardless of their party or political ideology. These men and possibly future women need to be level headed and their first initiative should be to work out a diplomatic solution to this situation. The Russians and Chinese have no strategic advantages to concurring a waste land loaded with dead bodies, fully load radiation levels not fit for humanity. It's a stale-mate. A sensible level-headed President is needed to stop the destruction of mankind. President Kennedy said, we all breathe the same air.

People trying to avoid it, being terrified and in the fog of way unsure what’s even happening and trying to make the best decision.

really loo this movie sux! 🤣

Threads is terrifying. Genuinely depressing film. It's just so grim

LOL very funny LOL

I even read that in the narrator's voice bahahaha

Love Crimson Tide, one of those movies I can watch many times and it's still good

Amazing! Both are lyrics in the U.S. national anthem.

They are but is keeping the anti gravity UFO technology a secret. Just think if you had a fleet of 500 unmanned saucers as fast as they are capable they could take out missiles before the first stage of missile has jettisoned.

It becomes exponentially more expensive with each enemy missile and the use of MIRV makes it impossible to stop them all. 5000 warheads is a lot of bang.

Absolutely right.

Wrong

@@christopherclay14 it's a movie. nothing more nothing less.

@@kggamermc8428 better to believe and find out later it is false, than to think it is false and find out when you perish that it was real all the time.

@@watchgoose read matthews

Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good time in Vegas with this 😆

Goldie, did you say "Wing Attack Plan R"?

Keep Crying 😭

Dude they wouldnt be able to wake biden up lol

@@jamo6080 hahaha. That's great

we know kamala would bust out an eternal laugh.

Trust no one.

BWAHAHAHA!!! Thanks for the laughs, MAGAt. He would have just surrendered to his master Pooty.

not with all those well-known actors in it

it's drama, not action. no Transformers for u here.

Oh dear god… this was made 30 years ago.

@@watchgoose right

It's a TV movie from 1990 what do you expect?
