Sex & Nudity

It is implied that a girl is raped near the end of the film

Violence & Gore

An atomic weapon is dropped on the city of Sheffield (the setting of the film), and it's implied that many people would have been vaporised in the blast radius

Frequent deaths occur in the film from radiation sickness, starvation and attempts at post-war survival

A boy is shot and killed whilst trying to steal food

Profanity

The film is incredibly bleak, terrifying and disturbing in it's accuracy of depicting atomic warfare and the survival that follows.

The post-war Britain is marred by problems ranging from a destroyed o-zone layer, a medieval-style civilisation and problems in acquiring food, making the viewers feel uncomfortable.

The deaths are graphic and quite disturbing.

The ending vaguely shows a young girl giving birth to a mutated baby.
