Threads is from an age when there was a lot of uncertainty in the world and lots of talk about World War 3 due to provocation and antagonism between the 2 big superpowers of the US and Soviet Union. It runs like a documentary drama showing people going about their daily lives in Sheffield, while they're simultaneously listening to the news reports coming in from the media about the build up in tension in Iran (sounds familiar) leading to an escalation in tit for tat force and preemptive strikes before reaching the point of no return, all out nuclear war. That's only half the story though as it continues by following up from the war by showing the devastation of the nuclear winter  and the after effects for years to come. It isn't pretty, there's no heroes or a massive budget (although the bomb scenes are still non too shabby), just the harsh reality of the life thereafter for the survivers.
