The Atomic Age of the 1950s and beyond was, and to some extent still is, a period fraught with fear and uncertainty. As nuclear technology advanced, so did the public's anxiety about its potential destructive power. These attitudes found expression in many movies from the time, from cautionary tales of nuclear war to pulpy sci-fi about radioactive monsters. Watching these films now can provide an intriguing glimpse into the mindset of another time while also shedding light on the nuclear tensions of the present day.
