10 Terrifying Nuclear War Movies You Must Watch

Since the invention of the nuclear weapon, people all around the world have been concerned about the possibility of nuclear war. At certain points throughout time, such as during the Cold War in the 1980s and the Cuban Missile Crisis, this concern has grown. A whole subgenre of nuclear war films has emerged as a result of attempts to depict what a nuclear war may feel like.

These films address the actual atrocities connected to nuclear weapons. Any movie about these weapons tends to provoke terror because we are aware of how scary and destructive they can be. Few films have successfully shown the actual terror of nuclear war, despite the fact that many have addressed the topic. They emphasize the very serious threat of humanity’s annihilation rather than atomic monsters.
