Narrated by Martin Sheen, this documentary assembles archival civil defense films, government propaganda, and educational footage from the Cold War era to examine how Americans were taught to prepare for nuclear attack. Through these materials, the film explores the promotion of fallout shelters and the official message that survival in a nuclear war was possible.
