Few American movies have dealt as graphically with nuclear holocaust as The Day After, which

accounted for the controversy that surrounded the telefilm at the time of its initial network

broadcast. In previous films, nuclear warfare was a matter for crusading politicians or

military might, but here, both are kept in the background (the airman played by William Allen

Young is more concerned with returning to his new wife than his duties) and the focus is fixed

firmly on middle America--literally so, as the setting is Lawrence, Kansas, the near-center of

the country. Audiences are briefly introduced to a representative cross-section of American

life, including a doctor (Jason Robards), a young bride-to-be (Lori Lethin), a graduate

student (Steve Guttenberg), and an academic (John Lithgow), before the Bomb hits nearby Kansas

City.The ensuing destruction is utterly horrific, but a few manage to survive to struggle

vainly with rising radiation levels and the slow, inevitable collapse of society. As a protest

vehicle,The Day After is a triumph--its scenes of nuclear devastation remain the most powerful

statements against nuclear armament ever depicted. It's buoyed by strong direction from

Nicholas Meyer, who previously specialized in fantasy (Time After Time), and a capable cast

who weather the material with grim determination. Edward Hume's script occasionally stumbles

into sudsy territory, but the end result compares with equally moving British efforts like

The War Game and Threads. The original network broadcast ran 120 minutes (edited from three

hours); this is the 126-minute European theatrical cut.
