Genre: Drama, Disaster, Post-Apocalypse, Tear Jerker, Disturbing, Doctor
Tagline: The day before. The day of. The Day After.
Plot: Steve Guttneberg and Jason Robards star in this Emmy Award winning made-for-TV movie about the aftermath of a total global thermonuclear war. Taking place in Lawrence, Kansas, THE DAY AFTER is a bleak look at the effects such a war would have on humanity by using the inhabitants of this small town as a microcosm of the world. Decidedly grim, Nicholas Meyer's film is graphic and disturbing, one that polarized an entire generation's attitude towards nuclear war.

All things being equal, if you can stomach the few scenes of bizarrely 80's-ish special effects, you have a chance at fully appreciating this film.  -- (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
