There was a film about the end of the world.
Called "On The Beach" Ava Gardner , Gregory Peck, Anthony Perkins, and Fred Astaire. It was set in Melbourne. Essentially the rest of the world had been destroyed, and this group were waiting for the fallout to reach them.
Ava Gardner endeared herself to Aussies, except those in Sydney, by saying Melbourne was the perfect setting for a film about the end of the world. Sydney siders simply applauded ,loudly.
On the Beach is a 1959 American post-apocalyptic science fiction drama film from United Artists, produced and directed by Stanley Kramer, that stars Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, and Anthony Perkins.[2] This black-and-white film is based on Nevil Shute's 1957 novel of the same name depicting the aftermath of a nuclear war.[3] Unlike the novel, no one is assigned blame for starting the war; the film hints that the threat of annihilation may have arisen from an accident or misjudgment.

The scariest film about an atomic war I've seen is a British made for Tv film called "Threads".(1984) Makes the American The Day After' seem pretty glossy.
Couldn't find it free on Youtube, but did find an interesting comparison between "Threads' and "The Day After"'

I've always known exactly where I want to be the event of a nuclear attack; ground zero. Simply cannot imagine the horror of trying to stay alive after the event.
Will there be such an attack on Australia, from say North Korea? Who knows. I just hope they have the decency to wait until after I've died from natural causes .
