The deal has already been made. The results just haven't been announced yet. As the police are wont to say at an accident or crime scene, "Nothing to see, folks; go on home."

1983's made-for-TV movie "The Day After" seemed like a somewhat-realistic depiction of what to expect:

Even more realistic was the BBC UK film "Threads":

Also check out one of my favorite movies, Miracle Mile (1988) - starring Anthony Edwards & Mare Winningham:

I like the series Jericho

Jericho was a great series as well. Too bad it only lasted 1 1/2 seasons.

The first eight or so episodes of Jericho are a great learning tool for initiating someone who doesn't have the patience for a full length movie. It can be watched in 25 min segments.
BTW: I think they made a complete 2nd season, and maybe a third season, but never aired them.

I didn't haven't watched the second (I checked and there was no third) season, since it didn't fit with what I hoped to learn in the first season, but many people think they took the show off the air because it showed a very good argument for citizens owning guns and ammo as per the 2nd Amendment.

I actually don't know if I bought both seasons on DVD or just the first.
As I said before, my interest was only in the first 8 or 9 episodes.

I might go rewatch it on firestick because it's been awhile since I have seen the episodes, but I really remember enjoying it When it came out.

I think it may have been a formative memory that stayed with me that one day clicked and made me think, yes....trying to prep, owning guns and anmo, buying food etc... Is a good idea.
