    Nuclear war movie - title?

    I always thought the stars were Powers Boothe and Rebecca de Mornay but I know that is wrong - it was a long time ago, folks! Can anyone help me with the Title?

    Thanks

    OK addendum to this:

    Powers Boothe and Rebecca de Mornay were in "By Dawn's Early Light" from 1990. What the heck did I see in 1972??
