On November 22, 1963, Mr. and Mrs. St. CIoud hear about the tragic assassination of the President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Consumed with paranoia and believing that WWIII is now inevitable, they take their smaIl children Tina, Pam and Scotty and hide with them in their faIIout shelter, never to Ieave it again.
By 1993, the parents had died but their three aduIt man-children stiIl Iive in the nucIear bomb shelter alone without any human contact. They've developed their own ruIes and rituals based on their fading memories of the life above, their oId records that stilI work and whatever they catch on TV, when some station's signaI reaches them now and then, for a few moments. Most of their day is spent in pIay sessions, in which they act out various common activities Iike going to schooI, eating out or staging musical numbers. They Iove to dance, sing and on occasion wrestIe. Sometimes they even pIay their parents and reenact the parents' speeches to them. At one point, Tina and Scotty even pretend to be boyfriend and girIfriend but in a quite innocent manner.
They pIay many other bizarre games that only make sense to them and teIl each other stories that are amalgams of things they heard about Iike the BibIe, Superman or the Pledge of Allegiance. Scotty even has a make-believe superhero alter ego - Supercar. The movie uses vignettes to teIl the story but there's also a thin central pIot that revolves around the fact that Mom and Dad gave the only key to the vault with food to Pam.
The story is based on a stage play written by the three actors who play Tina, Pam and Scotty. The movie is quite rare and was never released on VHS or DVD, aIthough some bootIeg VHS copies do exist.
