A nuclear strike will leave to much collateral damage. Also should the entire world be destroyed by global warming, nuclear holocost, aides, Nancy Pelosi, and the Yellowstone caldera. The only things left will be lilacs, lawyers, and cockroaches Makes me think of the flick, "Damnation Alley", from 1977.
It came out the same year as "Star Wars", and had twice the budget. The studio execs were certain it would be the big sci-fi hit of the year, not the tribute to 1930's serials by that guy who did "American Graffiti".

According to Aubrey Solomon, Twentieth Century Fox: A Corporate and Financial History, Scarecrow Press, 1989 p 258 (at least that’s the Wikipedia citation) the movie’s budget was $8,000,000. Star Wars (1977) budget was at least $11,000,000. https://tinyurl.com/ybl6eeej
