    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Some three decades after making this movie together, after both of them had been divorced from other spouses, Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham actually started dating in their private lives. They were married in 2021.
    • Goofs
      It's impossible to call a random civilian phone number from an active-duty missile silo. Also, an actual launch code would be communicated (by radio) to the missile operators only, and just moments before the intended launch.
    • Quotes
      • Julie Peters: People are gonna help each other, aren't they? Rebuilding things?
      • Harry Washello: I think it's the insects's turn.
    • Crazy credits
      Dedicated to Doctor Biobrain
    • Alternate versions
      A little-seen preview version of the film included a special effect of two diamonds hovering after the nuclear explosion, just preceding the end credits. In the theatrical version and subsequent DVD release from MGM, the diamonds do not appear following the nuclear blast, rather the credits simply roll.
