In a gripping and intense portrayal of a nuclear apocalypse, Threads follows the fate of two families in Sheffield, England, as global tensions escalate into a catastrophic war. As the bombs fall, the city is reduced to rubble, and the survivors are left to fend for themselves in a world without rules or resources. With communications down, hospitals overwhelmed, and food scarce, the remaining population struggles to survive in a harsh new reality. The film poignantly captures the devastating effects of war on humanity and the resilience of those who must rebuild their lives in the aftermath.
