OPEN ON EXT. AMERICA. The irradiated bones of dead cowboys. Blue flickering television films of ruined cities. 23 Kiloton Hollywood spectacles. Disfigured atomic scientists stalking the streets. Dead housewives on ghostly bombing runs. Time 1 minute to H Hour.

FLASHBACK TO tomorrow with leaps in logic and time - bad special effects - theremins burning offscreen - unnatural disasters and men in rubber suits. The channels are dead. B-52s approach fail-safe. The stars dissolve. 3-2-1-FILM START.
