Yuppers,

The Quiet Earth - Zac Hobson was the main character, scientist working on "Project Flashlight" - Big oops! (Filmed in New Zealand)

I have seen both movies but don't quite get the cold war connection with Quiet Earth. Is the idea of a Cold War era movie any movie that appeared in the Cold War years? IMHO it's got to address the Cold War itself. Neither of these do, to me; Year Zero is about a fear created in the era, but it could be made now; ditto Quiet Earth.

Not saying you're wrong, just making conversation. I wouldn't consider either a Cold War movie.

Not only does Quiet Earth have one of the coolest final shots in movies, it has a marvelous end title music cue. I'd say it's more metaphysical than Cold Warian. If that's a word.
