A family scrambles desperately to survive after a nuclear attack sends them fleeing into the countryside., 3 March 1999
9/10
Author: Kathryn Rushent from Airdrie, Alberta, Canada

A real surprise for the time it was made: well thought out, and frighteningly logical as well as dramatic. Other surprises: Milland directing himself in a rather harsh role, and Frankie Avalon playing Milland's son... hey, I know he was in (too many) movies, but who would've thought the guy could actually act?
