Storyline
Nuclear Family begins the story of a young couple, John and Lynn, who are trying to survive in the woods after what appears to be a nuclear holocaust. They stay on the move with their 11-year-old daughter, Pauline... all the while searching for their missing 8-year-old son, Grant. Meanwhile, present society has disintegrated, and the family must stay one step ahead of the Berserkers: lawless, wild, brutal men who rape,pillage and destroy as a way of life. Shot as a pilot presentation for a TV series the story will take this family, and the others they meet along the way in their search for Grant and to avoid the Berserkers, to discoveries beyond the existing reality.

I started watching this just to see what it was. The more I watch this pilot for Nuclear Family I have an overwhelming sense I want to watch more of it. Great story line and keeps you guessing what's going to happen and how they find ways out of unbelievable situations. The situations that appear in the pilot are ones that could really happen to people. It definitely ranks a 10 in my view and would love to see this come out as a full episode and TV series. To the writers and producers, good job. I'll be passing this along to my friends to get involved and to bring more viewers. It's something to see what a family has to go through against all odds to maybe see the next day in the post apocalyptic world.
