There are errands to run, laundry to sort, piano lessons to tackle. But an ordinary day like any other - ends abruptly with a startling TV news bulletin, followed moments later by a blinding flash. With her husband away and her three frightened children gathered around her, Carol Wetherly (Jane Alexander) must face the unthinkable - the devastating aftermath of a nuclear attack. Director Lynne Littmans gripping, deeply moving film garner Alexander an Oscar nomination among a stellar cast that includes William Devane, Ross Harris, Roxana Zal, Lukas Haas, Leon Ames, Mako Rebecca De Mornay and Kevin Costner.
