Threads
In "Threads", a movie depicting a nuclear war, it was shown how some simple events could lead to almost total annihilation. The movie is started with a tranquil setting of two kids sitting in the countryside in a vehicle. Very subtly, they are announcing the events of an advance from Russia into the country of Iran. Russia is sending troops into Iran because they do not have a Communist Government ruling. Russia wants to correct this flaw and make it a Communist country. The United States of America hears news of the advances and threatens the Russian Government to pull out the troops and leave Iran alone. Russia, being stubborn, doesn't comply to the threats and withholds retreat. This reaction to the threat causes the US to threaten them with a war. The British government started to inform the leaders of the cites to go to the bunkers and start to plan for a war, plus come up with a plan to control the city after, if a war does occur. The US wanted to watch the actions taking place, so they sent some submarines over to the Persian Gulf to survey the motives of the Russian troops. One of the submarines that was in the area suddenly, without a trace, disappeared. The US suspected that Russia had somehow destr
The after war days are the worst. Mass deaths and radiation everywhere. The people who have survived only survived to face damnation. Worst of all for them is that food and water is totally contaminated and they have to suffer through radiation poisoning. The way that they get radiation poisoning is through the contact to the fallout dust and plainly the air. Radiation can pass through our bodies and it mutates the cells and causes cancers. However, the first trouble that they face is the massive fires caused by the heat of the explosion. The survivors then confront the loss of the loved ones, subsequently causing disorientation. As for Ruth she faced the loss of Jimmy, her to be husband. While she is hiding in the basement with her mother, father, and soon to die grandmother she faces pain of the loss and her emotions go crazy. She is so disturbed that she runs out of the house and starts to search for Jimmy thinking he may be alive still. She never finds him, which causes her heart to break and she is forever effected. A while later she is about to have her baby. When she gives birth she is quick to check it over to see if it is deformed from the radiation it has been subjected to. Unfortunately, her baby was not affected, but when her daughter is giving birth to her baby it is majorly deformed and still born. Back to Ruth, she lived for many years after the war but the first few were harder than all. A couple weeks after the attack people started to loot from other peoples homes and take food and water. Also the police, they went corrupt. The police started to attack the looters by shooting them and changing them. Some of the police were no better then the looters themselves. As time pasted people started to f
