The Day After/Quotes

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


First Air Force Officer: Missile Warning, this is Beale. Confidence is high. I repeat, confidence is high. Roger, we've got thirty-two targets in track and ten impacting points. I want to confirm...is this an exercise? Roger, copy. This is not an exercise!

Second Air Force Officer: Roger, understand. Major Reinhardt, we have a massive attack against the U.S. at this time. ICBMs, numerous ICBMs. Roger, understand. Over three hundred missiles inbound now.

Ending disclaimer: The catastrophic events you have just witnessed are, in all likelihood, less severe than the destruction that would actually occur in the event of a full nuclear strike against the United States. It is hoped that the images of this film will inspire the nations of this earth, their peoples and leaders, to find the means to avert that fateful day.
