Did you or anyone on here see an old “Twilight Zone” episode where this doctor had been making a bunker under his house for awhile in case of a bomb hit? His neighbors were over at his house for his birthday, and they were having a great time until his young son told all of them that was something on the radio/t.v. to warn them all that there was a bomb threat.
They all headed home to their homes all in a panic. The doctor and his wife and son got some water and food that they would need and went down to their bunker. Well the neighbors were all in a panic, because they had no “bug out” shelter or bomb shelter and he had told them they might need one!
So where did they head to? The doctor’s house, of course! They banged on the door and pleaded w/him to let them in. He wouldn’t, because there was barely enough food and supplies/space for his own family, let alone others. More and more neighbors all in a panic showed up, banging on the door and threatening him. They started fighting with each other and threatening him and his family. They had gotten something to ram down his door.
Then, they got a report from an emergency radio that the “bomb attack” had been called off! There was to be no attack, so they could go back to normal life! Of course, they had to apologize to the doctor/family. One guy had made some threats and knocked a Hispanic man down. He had to make apologies to him, saying he didn’t mean it. The doctor said he had a chance to see what they all would be like in an emergency, and it troubled him to see what they would’ve done if they emergency had been real!
He was even more upset with the way they had all behaved like crazed animals that was worse than the bomb! Rod Sperling (sp?) had some interesting remarks after the episode too! If you haven’t seen it and it comes up again on “METV”, watch it, it’s good, and illuminating! I can’t remember the title, though, (shoot)!
I just looked it up, It’s called: “The Shelter”. I got a few things wrong with the description, though. It was a threat of a few inidentified objects flying toward them. They were afraid that would mean a nuclear attack. The doctor had offered to let them use his basement, but that wasn’t good enough for the group of neighbors.
They were told the alarm was off, because the objects were harmless, and there was not going to be an attack. The doctor, after coming out of shelter to confront his neighbors, tells them that he fears they’d done more to destroy themselves than the “nuclear” attack threat had done!

If you get the chance watch ( year zero ) its about a family getting out of L.A during a bomb attack.

I just looked it up, the title is ( panic in year zero ) it was made in 1962 and was not a big hero type movie but was about what an average person can do and most likely will do by using the sense they were born with.
P.S if you remember the name of the movie you were talking about, let me know.
High quality video. Three parts. “The Shelter”
