Countdown to Looking Glass: Difference between revisions

''[[Countdown Toto Looking Glass]]'' is a 1984 Canadian [[Mockumentary]], [[Alternate History]], and [[Speculative Fiction]] [[Film]] starring Scott Glenn and Helen Shaver among others, centered around [[It Gets Worse|the events]] that lead up to a [[The Deadliest Mushroom|nuclear war]] between the USA and the Soviet Union, as depicted in a series of evening newscasts that becomes a [[24-Hour News Networks|24 Hour News Network]].

Notable for its realism at the time (though not so much anymore) and for occasionally being [[Harsher in Hindsight]]. One of the less famous of the nuclear war movies of the 1980s along with ''[[Threads]], [[The Day After]]'', and ''[[World War III (film)|World War III]]''. Notable along with [[Threads]] for being on the "hard" end of the [[Speculative Fiction]] spectrum in that, at the time, such an attack could have happened exactly as it depicted *and* that it even bears some relevance in the present.
