Even though they're asses and won't allow their image to display.
It is the mid-1980s. An aggressive Soviet leadership orders troops marched to the border of West Berlin, and then decides to invade West Germany with multiple armored tank & troop divisions. In Lawrence, Kansas - on the border with Missouri - a family is preparing for the wedding of their eldest daughter, and Dr. Oakes (Jason Robards) is keeping busy in his role as chief of surgery in the small University Hospital at Lawrence. These people go on with their daily lives but are drawn closer to the possibility of a nuclear war, as the Russians use a nuclear ballistic missile against a West German city, and then attack a U.S. warship in the Persian Gulf. The Americans strike back by hitting a Soviet ship, and then the Russians hit NATO regional headquarters with a nuclear warhead!
...and then things get worse.
Thursday, November 20, at 7:00pm. Be there or miss Lawrence getting nuked!
Best,
Chris

Disturbed me a lot, too, so I've never seen it in its entirety. So I plan to watch it this time!

It disturbed the hell out of me and I was in it.
Interestingly, the farmhouse used belonged to the aunt of a good friend of mine. Their payment was few thousand dollars and a complete interior renovation and field cleaning, once it was all over.

I wasn't in it. My family was on vacation when they were filming, but pretty much all of my friends were. I remember most of them being more excited about getting covered in fake radiation burns than being disturbed by the actual film.
