No. 286

It was partly a response to the US made for TV movie The Day After. TDA is set in Lawrence Kansas, which was supposed to be the "safest" part of the United States, as it was the largest tactically insignificant area.
Kind of a "no one's safe from nuclear war" type deal. Personally, I think Threads is a little over the top in terms of things like nuclear winter (lasting thirteen years after the bombs?) and the complete collapse afterwards, but hell, they were trying to scare people.
