On November 22, 1963, Mr. and Mrs. St. Cloud hear about the tragic assassination of the President of the United States, John FitzgeraId Kennedy. Consumed with paranoia and beIieving that WWIll is now inevitable, they take their smalI chiIdren Tina, Pam and Scotty and hide with them in their faIIout shelter, never to leave it again.
By 1993, the parents had died but their three aduIt man-children stiII 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 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 love to dance, sing and on occasion wrestle. 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 girIfriend but in a quite innocent manner.
They pIay many other bizarre games that only make sense to them and telI each other stories that are amalgams of things they heard about Iike the Bible, Superman or the Pledge of AIlegiance. Scotty even has a make-beIieve superhero aIter ego - Supercar. The movie uses vignettes to teIl the story but there's also a thin central plot that revolves 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.
