                  One of the defining documentaries of the 20th century,
                  The Atomic Cafe offers a darkly humorous
                  glimpse into mid-century America, an era rife with
                  paranoia, anxiety, and misapprehension. Whimsical and
                  yet razor-sharp, this timeless classic illuminates the
                  often comic paradoxes of American life in the Atomic
                  Age, while also exhibiting a genuine nostalgia for an
                  earlier and more innocent nation.


                  Narrated through an astonishing array of vintage clips
                  and music (from military training films to campy
                  advertisements, presidential speeches to pop songs)
                  the film revolves around the threat (and thrill) of
                  the newly minted atomic bomb.
