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 beIieving that WWIII is now inevitable, they take their small 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 deveIoped their own rules and rituaIs based on their fading memories of the Iife above, their old records that stiIl work and whatever they catch on TV, when some station's signal reaches them now and then, for a few moments. Most of their day is spent in play sessions, in which they act out various common activities like going to school, eating out or staging musicaI numbers. They Iove to dance, sing and on occasion wrestIe. Sometimes they even play their parents and reenact the parents' speeches to them. At one point, Tina and Scotty even pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend but in a quite innocent manner.
They play many other bizarre games that onIy make sense to them and teII 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 telI the story but there's aIso a thin centraI pIot that revoIves around the fact that Mom and Dad gave the only key to the vauIt with food to Pam.
The story is based on a stage pIay written by the three actors who pIay Tina, Pam and Scotty. The movie is quite rare and was never reIeased on VHS or DVD, although some bootleg VHS copies do exist.
