This plays like a straight documentary of a fictional nuclear attack on Britain in the mid 1960s. At 47 minutes, its enough to give you a glimpse of the inevitable results of a land destroyed and nation thrown into chaos. Its not too long or preachy but drops you in the middle of random scenes of smoking debris, badly burned bodies, looting, riots, and the remnants of the government's attempts at keeping/restoring order, mostly with ill effect. This shows us what might happen, and it isn't pretty in any way, shape, or form. A great piece of documentary film, esp for 1965. Originally banned by the BBC, and while I don't condone censorship, I can certainly understand why it was done.
