...Closest thing America ever produced that had such impact was "The Day After" from 1983. I remember teachers in school (I was in 4th grade at the time) telling us to watch it with our parents, seriously.

The scenes in that one that were chilling were not as graphic or raw as in Threads, but when the missiles went off in Kansas and other states, and John Lithgow (who played a teacher) were watching from the windows of their high school, it felt real.

Then the scene of nuclear impact, while people were driving to work and various scenes of people doing various things, and you see them in x-ray form, with the bomb blast wave of wind and debris to follow... pretty dramatic.

I stumbled upon a copy of THE DAY AFTER in the cheap bin at the local Wally World. My son asked why I spent "five dollars on that junk?" After he watched it, he was rather quiet.

Good.

I can remember "duck and cover."

We humans are a stupid lot.
