| Description | The film begins by showing viewers a variety of objects such as a "skull", a sword and cannon from the colonial years of America, and a primitive bow and arrow. All of these objects have a common theme… they are the instruments of death and destruction. Again, the same narrator from the other Civil Defense episodes states some opening remarks regarding the background of the film title. After, the film transitions to different individuals in an attempt to gaze at the entirety of the "Weapons in the Nuclear Age." |
