Previously friendly neighbors, thinking they are under nuclear attack from the Soviets, turn on each other in a grim battle for survival. The ending reveals it was all a mistake. The 'nukes' were just satellites accidentally gone off course. So their violent reaction was completely inexcusable. A previous TZ episode had neighbors turning on each other in a similar fashion, fearing an invasion from Mars. That episode had much less credibility because we find out the invasion was real all along. Making their violent reaction at least a little bit understandable.
Review of The Shelter
A remake of "Monsters are due on Maple Street" but with a more consistent theme.
