About Nuclear Shelter
Our planet was contaminated by many nuclear explosions that left the soil and the air filled with radiation, and now the few survivors of those catastrophic events live under the ground on a shelter controlled by scientists. After an incident inside the shelter, a group of rebellious scientists defy their leadership when they find a good possibility of returning to the surface.
Directed by Roberto Pires, Nuclear Shelter leans on a strong ensemble — Roberto Pires, Conceição Senna, Norma Bengell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1981.
