James Wesley:
I watched the [R-rated] 2006 movie Right at Your Door on a cable movie channel this weekend. [It is also available as a "Watch Instantly" streaming video from Netflix.] The scenario was that there were multiple dirty bombs in Los Angeles-- initially thought to be chemical, later revealed to be viral agents. [The film follows the protagonists's reactions to] real-time self-defense (duct tape and plastic), the chaos of getting to the "retreat" of one's home, reveals some poor thinking and planning and its consequences, and shows the deadly nature of likely governmental "help" for some victims in such a scenario.
Great for getting simple preparedness motivation going, and a good one I'd say for acclimatizing the skeptical spouse. My wife and I found ourselves discussing what we'd do differently in similar circumstances. - E.C.B. in Illinois
