THREADS
dir. Mick Jackson, 1984
United Kingdom, 112 mins.

The most terrifying and honest portrayal of nuclear war ever filmed. - The Guardian

Unsettlingly powerful. - New York Times

Realistic, terrifying and brilliantly conceived, THREADS is guaranteed to give you nightmares. - New York Daily News

This is not a film to be reviewed as a film; its art is that it cancels all aesthetic distance between our unthinking and the unthinkable: here is the death of our life and the birth of a new life for our children, a life  of slow death by radiation sickness and plagues and starvation and quick death by violence. - Russell Hoban, The Listener

Upon its 1984 premiere at the height of global nuclear tension, THREADS shocked the entirety of the BBC's viewership. Months later, it became the most-watched cable program in American history.

Exactingly directed by Mick Jackson (VOLCANO) from a screenplay by Barry Hines (Ken Loach's KES), this graphic docudrama depicts the unraveling of society after the working-class city of Sheffield, UK undergoes nuclear attack. With talk of nuclear conflict back in the news, the time is now for audiences with fortitude to experience and absorb this shattering vision on the big screen.
