World War III (1982)
Effective Cold War Drama
World War III is an effective drama depicting a Soviet invasion of Alaskan oil feilds. Rock Hudson stars as the President of the United States. Even though it doesn't show the actual nuclear explosions, World War III is still an exciting movie. It ends like the movie Fail Safe, with freeze frames of people in different countries. I highly recommend this movie.
Massive Retaliation (1984)
Average Movie
Massive Retaliation is your every day, average five-star movie. The beginning starts out great, but then quickly goes downhill. Massive Retaliation is about a group of survivalists that retreat to their camp after the use of tactical nuclear weapons in the Gulf of Oman. Their children were supposed to come up earlier in the day, but when they find the bunk-houses empty panic starts to set in. As urban areas in the U.S. are evacuated tension increases. The movie was made in 1984, but the styles of clothes and music looked like they were left over from the late 70's. If you're really interested in the nuclear topic you should see Massive Retaliation. But, be forewarned, there is only one nuclear event reported on a TV news program. No big nuclear explosions in this one.
Threads (1984)
Great Movie!
Threads is a drama depicting nuclear war. You really get to know the characters. The character 'Ruth' had a deep British accent, I had trouble understanding a few of the words she said. The movie was scientifically correct. I liked the Emergency Powers Act bit, it was informational. Great movie, I strongly reccomend it.
