80's TV nuclear destruction fare, entertaining but not especially realistic or accurate. Pretty funny when one of the "terrorist" characters says NBC would kill its Mother to have exclusive coverage of the story (this was originally broadcast on NBC). Side note about the credits on IMDb for this...the John Walsh (John E Walsh) of America's Most Wanted is listed, but I'm fairly certain that he is in fact not in this movie because the person listed in the credits at the end of the movie is a John R Walsh. If you're looking for a better and frankly more terrifying nuclear destruction-related drama, I recommend the British movie Threads.
