The documentary is divided into two main segments. The first section of the film is a dramatization of a sneak attack by Soviet Union nuclear weapons against the United States. The premise of the attack is based on Soviet nuclear submarines approaching the United States west coast undetected and launching a barrage of missiles at ICBM silos and B-52 bomber bases, while other Soviet forces manage to destroy a number of U.S. ballistic missile submarines at sea. In the film, by the time Strategic Air Command realizes what is happening, over 80% of U.S. strategic forces have been destroyed and the President of the United States is forced to surrender to the Soviet Union. American casualties are stated to be eight million dead - this "low" number is due to the Soviet attack hitting military bases instead of cities.

Le documentaire expose les effets désastreux sur la santé et l'environnement causés par la production nucléaire de la compagnie General Electric. Il montre la contradiction entre le discours commercial de l'entreprise et les personnes dont les vies sont dévastées par les tests et la fabrication des missiles nucléaires. 27 familles d'employés ont souffert de cas de cancers, alors que General Electric était conscient des niveaux de radioactivité.

Based on a true account of events, the plot interweaves the stories of a fireman at the nuclear power plant, his pregnant wife, the government officials whose policies helped and hindered rescue efforts and America's Dr. Robert Gale (Jon Voight), who led the international medical team that helped treat survivors of the disaster. Robert Gale published the original account of his experiences under the same title in 1988 with Thomas Hauser; it was adapted by Ernest Kinoy for the screenplay.
