One of my favorite movies. Nuclear war is something I have recurring nightmares about and am actually afraid of so it gets me more than any horror movie.

It definitely seems more plausible than a serial killer or cult something like that, especially so recently after the cold war like when this movie was made.
I recommend the book, “Alas, Babylon” by Pat Frank (read by Will Patton if you get the audible version, which is what I love to listen to).
It’s about a community’s survival after a nuclear attack. No zombies or jump scares. Humans being humans and a lack of communication/resources.
Warning: it is a dated book. It’s time period is set during segregation. It isn’t predominant, but it does come up from time to time.
Here is a link to the audible version: https://www.audible.com/pd/B004BOGF3W?source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=pdp
Shout out to Anne Sellors, her only role ever was in the movie Threads and she was credited as 'Woman Who Urinates on Herself' (though technically uncredited.)
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1856457/
Here's the scene, it's actually terrifying. (Anne seen at 1.15)
lol thank you for that trivia.
I'm terrified of Nuclear war and I live in Sheffield, double fear!!
Thats an auto move situation if i ever heard one.
That is one of the most jarring things I have ever seen.
It was one of the handful of movies I was literally speechless after.
Threads is the only movie I needed to take a break from watching before I finished it. It was right after Ruth walks through town for the first time after the bombs drop...
I thought those Dragonriders of Pern were going to take care of all the Threads.
