'The Day After:' Nuclear-attack TV movie horrifies America in 1983 | WABC-TV Vault
On Nov. 20, 1983, almost 100 million terrified Americans were watching the horror of a nuclear war in the historic TV movie “The Day After,” shown on ABC. In New York, there were viewing parties and a church even hosted a screening of the scary film. Nobody wanted to watch the end of the world alone. The movie depicted a nuclear attack by the U.S.S.R on the United States. Shown at the height of the Cold War, the film proved too close for comfort for viewers, showing a scenario that many feared would actually happen. We present Channel 7’s original coverage from the Eyewitness News Vault, which aired after the movie.
