    A peaceful Midwestern city attempts to recover after it is destroyed by a nuclear missile strike in this powerful and deeply disturbing testament to the folly of pro-military hawks who believed that annihilation was a justifiable means of attaining power and control. The Day After originally aired on network television. At the end of the broadcast, many stations offered teams of counselors staffing 800 telephone numbers to help distraught viewers calm down.

    November 09, 2002: I hated this movie as a child. It was the summary of all my fears condensed into a movie that left me stunned for days. As an adult I can now appreciate the skill that has gone into this drama. How amazingly well acted it is, and the affect that it has on the watcher. This movie is an experience. Be prepared.

    September 18, 2002: I haven't seen this movie for several months, but the feeling that it gives you...you will never forget. It is a realistic tale of the most horrifying concept that mankind has devised. You must see this movie for yourself to believe how incredibly powerful it is.
