November 20, 1983 –
An estimated 100 million people watched on this date, the controversial ABC-TV movie The Day After, which depicted the outbreak of nuclear holocaust in the United States.
Twentieth Century Fox invited a group of scientists to preview this movie, to test their reactions to the “science” used in it. None of the scientists were impressed with what they saw, although most conceded that the movie was enjoyable nonsense.
