My favourite part of this film is when the scientists who is supposed to Cure the Outbreak accidentally shoots himself in the head when running up a plane ramp...

[ReaverLordTonus]

The actual nuclear exchange described in the book carried way more weight than this throwaway scene. The most chilling part was actually the beginning of the chapter where Brooks is interviewing a former Iranian Air Force pilot in Greenland and says he's there because he "has nowhere else to go". Even before you know the exact reasons why it's hits you to know that this guy lost his entire country, that so few of his people are left in the world that their history and culture will soon be lost to time.

Funny how the sound traveled to the plane at the exact time it detonated.

That nuke effect was adapted from the footage of a real nuclear test conducted by the US on Bikini Atoll, 1946. Operation Crossroads, codename Baker. It was recorded in black and white, and the footage was colored and restored to actually be used in WWZ. Brilliant move 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

For me, what made this movie rise above any other zombie story were the little details like this—it felt really thorough with all of the things that would probably happen in a zombie apocalypse. Looting, mass panic, refugees being flown out to Navy fleets, nuclear weapons being used as a last resort. Most zombie movies feel like “the zombies have taken over the town/city.” This movie really delivers the feeling of “wow, the entire world is ending.”

In the book, there are several Chinese sailors that escape on a submarine. They have no contact with the outside world, and begin to speculate about a nuclear war. That turns to irradiated zombies. I wonder what kind of mutant ghouls were created in that blast.

[JPH]

A Russian Antonov, with US Navy painted on it, with McGuire AFB markings, an ACC style tail code (two letters, MG) and AIr Force Material Command...with the flag flying the wrong way. That’s the most jacked up movie plane ever

[jrd_nath]

I never realized it was nuke until saw it here

[wildzach]

I never realized you could stare at a nuclear explosion and not be blinded.

[MrDlt]

Interesting how the sound of the explosion reached the plane at exactly the same time that the explosion happened, even though it was probably 20 miles away...

[OFFtheCHIZANE]

The famous Operation Crossroads ‘Baker shot’. Interestingly part of the reason this footage is so famous is that it’s quite an unconventional explosion - the bomb was underwater so the initial flash was heavily obscured, allowing for a clear view of the formation of the blast structure. Though it is regularly used to illustrate a mushroom cloud, Baker did not in fact produce a ‘mushroom cloud’ in the conventional sense; rather than a rising fireball, the shot created a column of seawater and sand/mud which was described afterwards as a ‘cauliflower’. Once the initial jet had formed, a dense Wilson cloud forms in the blast wave rarefaction, as the air above the tropical atoll contained lots of water vapour.
Tl;dr though Baker shot is arguably the most impressive footage we have of a nuclear explosion, it is probably the most inappropriate example to repurpose for this scene.

[colegilliam]

Shoulda used CG, everyone knows that footage is from the bikini atolll

[BubblegumCrash]

I like how the biggest consequence to a Nuke going off is you lose your cell phone signal. He looked mildly annoyed. Damn nukes always dropping my calls lol

[Cyproduction]

For me this is a strong scene when it seems so simple. Mankind does everything to stop the spread of the virus, even nuclear resources... yet it's all in vain.
And even though the mistake I still like this scene very much.

[richpryor]

Everyone is pointing out the failed EMP effect, and I'm losing my shit over a AN-12 painted to look like a C-130.

[BeanDar]

As many issues as this movie has, I do appreciate it attempt to replicate the randomness of chaos

[Perzecute]

WHERE IS THE FOOKIN SEQUEL TO THIS MOVIE. IVE BEEN WAITING 4 YEARS

[arbabraiyan]

The nuke scene and score at clip end gives me chills

[sam]

For all this movies flaws it had a lot of great small scenes like this. I just had a weight to it, like a impending dread as you know the world is ending. Not every apocalypse movies can capture that feeling.

[UnRueD]

Reading the book and watching the movie.... Man so many connections between the two. Especially with where it came from. Because in the book it hinted in South East Asia, as well as Africa. Just amazing.
