Def Con 4
1984, 89 minutes, Rated M
Howe (Tim Choate), Jordan (Kate Lynch), and Walker (John Walsch) are three astronauts who return to Earth two months after a nuclear holocaust and confront a new and terrifying reality.
All the cities and towns have been destoryed. Shanty towns have been constructed by the survivors out of the refuse of the old-war. Civilization has given way to barbarism.
The spacecraft lands, considerably off-course, on a beach in eastern Canada. Jordan is knocked unconscious on impact. Walker exits first and is quickly killed by "Terminals" - humans crazed by disease. Several hours later, in the middle of the night, Howe ventures out in search of help and a way to escape. He soon encounters Vinny (Maury Chaykin), a survivalist who has fortified his house with barbed wire and booby traps. Vinny effectively saves him from the Terminals and makes him his prisoner. He also has another prisoner - a young woman, J.J. (Lenore Zann).
Vinny, J.J., and Howe are captured and taken in chains to a makeshift fortress built out of junk. The leader is Gideon.
