Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Countdown to Looking Glass is a 1984 Canadian Alternate History and Speculative Fiction film starring Scott Glenn and Helen Shaver among others, centered around the events that lead up to a nuclear war between the USA and the Soviet Union, as depicted in a series of evening newscasts that becomes a 24 Hour News Network.Notable for its realism at the time (though not so much anymore) and for occasionally being Harsher in Hindsight. One of the less famous of the nuclear war movies of the 1980s along with Threads, The Day After, and World War III. Notable along with Threads for being on the "hard" end of the Speculative Fiction spectrum in that, at the time, such an attack could have happened exactly as it depicted and that it even bears some relevance in the present.It is available in its entirety on Youtube.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

California Doubling: More like Canada Doubling. The entire production was made in Canada but was supposed to be occurring in the US. This becomes very, very obvious at points. | |

Deadline News: Surprisingly averted in the case of Michael Boyle, aboard the USS Nimitz in the end when the nuclear war begins, as he's standing on the deck of the aircraft carrier when a nuclear depth bomb goes off to destroy the submarine, and also manages to survive a Soviet nuclear weapon exploding within the carrier group, as he was inside the carrier's island at the time and was shielded from the worst of the initial burst of radiation. That being said, his fate is left unknown, as the incredible amounts of radiation in the atmosphere completely block out his television feed, and worse still, a third explosion is heard just before it cuts out altogether. | |
