It was HARROWING..!
The name of that movie is called "Threads" and it is THE most shockingly disturbing movie I have ever seen (unless of course you include "The Room"). The hospital scene alone should be required viewing for politicians around the world.
"Threads" is actually an updated version of an earlier British film called "The War Game". Go find both films on YouTube. Either one makes "The Day After" look like a comedy. The Brits don't joke around when it comes to nuclear war.
I also want to mention another nuclear war movie called "Testament". There are no scenes of destruction, but it has to rank as the most depressing film I have ever seen. I don't even want to talk about it here.

Was Testament located in Northern California...Mill Valley area if I remember. Yes., it was harrowing and very depressing. I remember mother and kids at home...Husband, dad was at work in SF. Local harried news announcer comes of the tv during mid morning to say that nukes were incoming and the tv goes static during announcement. Chilling...
Threads came out a year after “The Day After.”
