Review of Threads

Threads (1984 TV Movie)
8/10
A grim reminder
2 January 2024
The greatest threat to mankind and the natural world is not climate change, it is all out nuclear war. This would seem obvious but for some reason the BBC would rather push climate change propaganda these days.

Back in 1984 they had different priorities and while Threads can be viewed as a blatant CND recruitment drive it is never the less factually correct. The lead up to the eventual nuclear exchange is frighteningly salient today as Soviet Russia and USA fight over Iraq's oil fields leading to a regional conflict which inevitably goes nuclear then global. The more things change the more they stay the same.
