A silly atomic war story with the prerequisite AIP juvenile delinquents and cheap look.

The only thing that was hard to fully approve of in Panic in Year Zero!, was Milland's selfish philosophy for survival -- it was simply not a very human one.

Intriguing low-budget opus that now seems like a time-capsule of nuclear paranoia

Mais um fruto da paranóia coletiva gerada pela Guerra Fria, o filme conta com algumas boas idéias, mas é esquemático demais para aproveitá-las a contento.
