------------------------------------------

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.
