Synopsis
There are errands to run, laundry to sort, piano lessons to tackle. But an ordinary day like any other ends abruptly with a startling TV news bulletin, followed moments later by a blinding flash. With her husband away and her three frightened children gathered around her, Carol Wetherly (Jane Alexander) must face the unthinkable the devastating aftermath of a nuclear attack. Director Lynne Littman's gripping, deeply moving film garnered Alexander an Oscar nomination* among a stellar cast that includes William Devane, Ross Harris, Roxana Zal, Lukas Haas, Leon Ames, Mako, Rebecca De Mornay, and Kevin Costner
