Ratings and reviews

This is one of the few "Life After Nuclear WW3" movies that I remember vividly from my childhood. Gigantic scorpions, indestructible cockroaches, state-of-the-art ofroad vehicles, lousy script... It has it all. Highly recommended in the weeks before the nuclear explosion in Kiev, Ukraine, 2022. ☢️

Dated but good for its age
