So there's been a nuclear attack.
Don't ask me how or why, just know that the big one has hit.
Get inside.
Stay inside.
Step 3: Stay tuned

Go inside and watch some tv.

I'm just trying to figure out if it's stoic resoluteness or abject nihilism and whether it is truly a dignified alternative to running around with your head on fire.
Like what made Twisted Sister decide on "We're not gonna take it" as opposed to "Yes, we're gonna take it".
The Day After is an American post-apocalyptic television film that first aired on November 20, 1983, on the ABC television network. More than 100 million people, in nearly 39 million households, watched the program during its initial broadcast.[1][2][3]
With a 46 rating and a 62% share of the viewing audience during its initial broadcast, it was the seventh-highest-rated non-sports show up to that time and set a record as the highest-rated television film in history—a record it held as of 2009.[3]
The film postulates a fictional war between NATO forces and the Warsaw Pact countries over Germany that rapidly escalates into a full-scale nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union. The action itself focuses on the residents of Lawrence, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, and of several family farms near nuclear missile silos.[4]
The cast includes JoBeth Williams, Steve Guttenberg, John Cullum, Jason Robards, and John Lithgow. The film was written by Edward Hume, produced by Robert Papazian, and directed by Nicholas Meyer. It was released on DVD on May 18, 2004, by MGM.
The film was broadcast on the Soviet Union's state TV in 1987,[5] in the period of the negotiations on Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. The producers demanded that the Russian translation conform to the original script and that the broadcast would not be interrupted by commentary.[6]
