I'm probably having a bit of a downer on the subject as I watched Threads last night - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090163/

While quite possibly the least cheerful film ever made - it was based on a UK military planning exercise (Square Leg) that was actually pretty optimistic. In the optimistic version - only 90% of the population of the UK is killed, in the realistic ones it is much worse.
