The story happens at the time of the cold war when nuclear bombs and threats of a world war are on everyone's mind. The alarm goes off at the grade and high schools in a small rural community. This alarm means that a nuclear attack is eminent in the next hour. The children are sent home via school buses and walked home by teachers. The conversations about war, if it's really a drill being done by the school, words about the meaning of life and death and emotions that only get stirred by tragic times. Some of the movie is extremely well done visually as we see the emotional stress that results in a very trying time. Then the alarm is called off because of an electrical fault. It's then that the truly tragic thing happens when a life is put into jeopardy. If you're old enough to remember air raid drills in school, jets breaking the sound barrier or prayer in schools, this movie will take you on a ride into the past that couldn't be done any other way. Will this situation every happen again? Will history help this situation from happening again? I, for one, think that humankind will never learn.
