"A dark comedy in the truest sense, this film took the nation by storm when it first debuted in theaters in 1982. A compilation of archival film clips beginning with the first atomic bomb detonation in the New Mexico desert. The footage, much of it produced as government propaganda, follows the story of the bomb through the two atomic attacks on Japan that ended World War II to the bomb's central role in the Cold War. The film recounts a defining period of 20th century history and serves as a chilling and often hilarious reminder of Cold-War era paranoia in the United States, artfully presented through a collage of newsreel footage, government archives, military training films, and fifties music. Profoundly shocking and perversely topical, the film craftily captures a panicked nation, offering a fascinating and witty account of life during the Atomic Age and resulting Cold War, when fall-out shelters, duck-and-cover drills, and government propaganda were all a part of our social consciousness."--Container
