The advice given by these shorts were so spectacularly irrational, contradictory and useless (imagine trying to survive nuclear fallout in a lean-to made from your front door) that they inspired the creation of not one, but ''two'' influential films: ''Film/{{Threads}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/WhenTheWindBlows''.

* CosyCatastrophe: The shorts seemed to imply that this would be the outcome of a nuclear conflict. Sure, you'd have to stay inside for a couple of weeks, but after that everything would be just fine and dandy. ''Film/{{Threads}}'' and ''ComicBook/WhenTheWindBlows'' were produced in response. To some degree it actually made sense, because in the 1980s nuclear strategy generally shifted away from attacking population and industrial centers toward attacking enemy military infrastructure (bases, command centers, defense installations, missile silos, etc.) -- under the assumption that if enemy military forces are depleted by nuclear attacks, then your conventional military could force him to surrender without resorting to mass civilian casualties. While numerous nuclear explosions ''around'' the cities are clearly not good for population, they also clearly much less harmful than nuclear attack ''against'' the cities. Still, this would mean mass death to civilians plus destruction of agriculture nonetheless. Though the latter would be naturally less than a direct nuclear attack on civilian centers, it still is something many couldn't survive in the aftermath. Radiation poisoning and the starvation due to crops dying would still kill millions.
