Unfathomably merciless and powerful, the atomic bomb has left its indelible mark on film. In this book, Jerome F. Shapiro unearths the unspoken legacy of the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima and its complex aftermath on American and Japanese cinema. According to Shapiro a Bomb film is never simply an exercise in ideology or paranoia. He examines hundreds of films like Godzilla, Dr. Strangelove, and The Terminator as a body of work held together by ancient narrative and symbolic traditions that extol survival under devastating conditions.
