Abstract
From the late 1950s to the early 1990s, representations of cold war ‘nuclearism’ featured regularly in Australian and New Zealand cinema. Narrative dramas envisioned a range of scenarios including atomic attacks, nuclear terrorism, global annihilation and post-holocaust survivability. Films also depicted community protest and resistance to nuclear weapons, as well as the questioning of security alliances that rendered antipodean cities primary nuclear targets. This article considers a range of such films within the historical and geopolitical contexts of their production.
