The Countdown Has Begun!
Against the real-life backdrop of the US deployment of WMD's in Europe during
the escalating Cold War, this "dramatically involving [and] agonizingly grap-
hic film" (The Hollywood Reporter) about nuclear holocaust detonated a direct
hit in the heartland of America. This "controversial, potent drama" [Leonard
Maltin] remains "one of the most talked-about programs in history" [Newsweek]!
When cold-war tensions reach the ultimate boiling point, the inhabitants of a
small town in Kansas learn --along with the rest of America-- that they have
less than 30 minutes before 300 Soviet warheads begin to appear overhead!
Can anyone survive this ultimate nightmare... or the nuclear winter that is
sure to follow?

This movie is admittedly short on Cuties, but is a very tense, absorbing film
that had quite an impact on the nation when it was aired on ABC TV --as a 2-
night special-- November 20th & 21st, 1983.
In addition to the MGM DVD, I am also posting a 2-disc TV-to-DVD that I got
from a private torrent tracker, which features the original broadcast, includ-
ing all the commercials during the movie, and afterwards, the 90-minute "ABC
News Viewpoint" with Ted Koppel, whose guests included Secretary of State
George Schultz, Henry Kissenger, Carl Sagan, Elie Wiesel, Brent Scowcroft,
William F. Buckley, Jr., and Robert McNamara, in a live discussion of the
television film, nuclear weapons, and nuclear arms reduction.
Now, of course, the quality isn't as good as the retail DVD, what with this
being an analog TV broadcast taped to VHS and then captured to a digital file,
but, in addition to the commercials, which are a time capsule look at 1983,
and the news commentary afterwards, it has another distinct feature: it is the
true, full open-matte format that was seen when first broadcast, unlike the
cropped versions we have on the DVD and LaserDisc releases.
