Quite concur.

Even with these crappy 80’s effects these clips make me have to change my underwear.

True. They also used a lot of stock footage but it works very well. When you look at the nuclear tests alone it’s difficult to imagine what effect an all out nuclear exchange would cause. We have Hiroshima and Nagasaki which illustrates the human injuries and death from an atomic attack however it doesn’t illustrate what came later: the possibility of worldwide destruction or with all NATO and WARSAW pact nations.

Never really gave it much though at the time between the late 60s and into the 80s. I guess most of were passive or by then saw that MAD would prevent a nuclear exchange. There was one close call that I can’t recall at this time but that close call was actually an error and it could have led to a limited exchange or beyond.
