The Day After

There aren’t many made-for-tv movies worth watching, let alone 32 years later, but “The Day After” is the exception–as a movie and as a warning. Neocon Herman Kahn used to stand out in the 1960s for advocating first use of nuclear weapons. He’d have plenty of company in these days of crazed Russaphobia.

‘The Day After‘ is a graphic, disturbing film that first aired on November 20, 1983. It is the frightening story of the weeks leading up to and following a devastating nuclear holocaust on small-town residents near Lawrence, Kansas.
