A holocaust of horror!

Overview

Late one night on a rural road in the western US, a policeman sets up a roadblock and begins stopping all traffic. When several cars and a big truck have stopped, he tells everyone why: a nuclear attack on the US appears to be underway, and since they have the truck there, their best chance at survival is to use it as a bomb shelter. Time is short and tensions in the small group quickly rise.

    It has always intrigued me how cinema reflects its times--nothing demonstrates that to me more passionately than the doomsday scenario of nuclear apocalypse in movies, particularly during the times of extreme political crisis between the USA and then-USSR in both the 60's and 80's. 'This Is Not a Test' was director Fredric Gadette's lone work as director, producer and scriptwriter, and he's able to make, with a small set, a truck, a few cars, 17 no-name actors and a dog, an intriguing and moderately suspenseful genre entry.
