The Nuclear Age: Atomic Weapons on Film

In honour of my new university module starting, I'm compiling a list of films and documentaries that feature the development of, fear of and use of nuclear weapons. Mostly looking for somewhat realistic films (they can be "what if"-scenarios, but no aliens or zombies).

Not on Letterboxd:
- Rules of Engagement (1989 mini-series)
- Manhattan (sometimes styled MANH(A)TTAN) (2014 tv series)
