(1965) Anthony Bate, Keith Buckley, Michele Dotrice, David Collings, Tom Criddle. This remarkable, futuristic made-for-TV sci-fi film takes place in a massive nuclear bunker, built to protect government brass from nuclear war. The bunker has many levels, but Level Seven is the deepest and provides the best protection from radiation. When war breaks out, those below find their social structure decaying into something abysmal. Even worse, it’s soon discovered that radiation from above is slowly seeping downward. This is a riveting, grim look at the possibilities of nuclear holocaust. Similar to On the Beach. Wow. J.B. Priestly co-wrote the script.
