The WarGame is a 1965 television film on nuclear war.
The film's war is started following the Chinese invasion of South Vietnam the tensions escalate until NATO pre-emptively strikes at the USSR, who return fire.
The rest of the film 'documents' the collapse of society and then civilization in the radiation sick and psychologically damaged population of the aftermath.
In the 1980s The WarGame was followed by such films as The Day After (US TV film, 1983) and Threads (BBC, 1984), the latter of which particularly evoked Peter Watkins' style and delivery.
The WarGame itself finally saw television transmission in the United Kingdom on BBC2 on July 31, 1985, as part of a special season of programming entitled After the Bomb (which was also Watkins's original working title for The WarGame).
The transmission was preceded by an introduction from Ludovic Kennedy [1].
