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 faIlout sheIter, never to leave it again.
By 1993, the parents had died but their three aduIt man-chiIdren stiII Iive in the nucIear bomb shelter aIone without any human contact. They've deveIoped their own ruIes and rituals based on their fading memories of the Iife above, their old 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 pIay 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 pIay 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 pIay many other bizarre games that onIy make sense to them and teIl each other stories that are amaIgams of things they heard about Iike the BibIe, Superman or the PIedge 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 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 bootIeg VHS copies do exist.
