Alexander was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for her performance. The cast includes Jane Alexander, William Devane, Leon Ames, Ross Harris, Lukas Haas, Roxana Zal and, in small roles shortly before their rise to stardom, Kevin Costner and Rebecca De Mornay. Originally produced for the PBS series American Playhouse, it was given a theatrical release instead by Paramount Pictures (although PBS did subsequently air it a year later). It was one of the films, along with the television miniseries The Day After, that portrayed life after a nuclear war, mostly in response to an increase in hostility between the United States and the Soviet Union. The film tells the story of how one small suburban town near the San Francisco Bay Area slowly falls apart after a nuclear war destroys outside civilization.
