I just finished watching it, wow.

Let's just say it's very depressing.

I noticed one of the advisors for it was Carl Sagan. I didn't see Lovelock's name mentioned on there but Lovelock pretty much knew the score by 1984 and was writing Gaia books.

I also think the movie is probably spot-in for what would happen in a large nuclear exchange. Two differences though - there'd be no electricity at all with the population down that much a dozen or so years later. There's be no snipers shooting at you and missing - it'd be one shot one kill. And Nature would probably spring back more aggressively than shown a dozen or more years on. You'd see fearless crows ganging up on those miserable humans if caught out in a field, etc. Rats ganging up on weak ones hiding inside.

And never forget that in the movie, it's all brought on by the US and Iran getting into it, with the US having the ability to limit the warfare, and not doing so. The whole world trashed over a sub and a warship.

Finished watching it today.

Don't watch it just before or just after eating.

Glad I do not live in a big city.

Get a DVD on eBay. I've seen it a bunch of times, hard to believe Mick Jackson went on to do that Whitney Houston Bodyguard movie.
Carl Sagan was part of the TTPS - TAPS, get it? - team, which formulated the nuclear winter theory, which was subsequently discredited. So you see, it's not going to be all that bad!
Gissun! Gissun!
Baba come!

I agree. Nature would bounce back much better. There'd be way more green than is shown in those pictures. Be birds and squirrels and such everywhere. No way people would be so mopey either. All the mopey people would die the first winter. The survivors would be more aggressive and they would establish new social orders. No way would there still be an organized police force shooting looters 13 years out. The Mad Max movies do a far better job of depicting what the social order would be like.
