Abstract

Filmed during the heightened Cold War tensions in the 1980s, Threads offers a devastating account of rebuilding society in Sheffield, England, after a fictional nuclear holocaust. The plot centres on two families as a confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union erupts. As the nuclear exchange between NATO and the Warsaw Pact begins, the film depicts the medical, economic, social and environmental consequences of nuclear war.
