In this hand-drawn animated tale, elderly married couple Hilda (Peggy Ashcroft) and Jim Bloggs (John Mills) have their quiet, simple lives in the English countryside interrupted when they learn of an impending nuclear attack.

I recently rewatched it alongside the UK movie Threads. Both are brutally honest looks at the aftermath of nuclear war, in my opinion
