A movie from along time ago.?!
Question: A movie from along time ago!.!?
I am sorry I don't remember alot of the movie I do remember a bomb or something caused everyone to get sick, I remember a kid bleeding and the mom washing him in the bathroom and her trying to kill them by running the car in the garage but she didn't actually finish it!. That's really all I can remember of it!. Thanks for the help this has been bugging me for a while now and none of my family ever remembers us watching it!. I am sure it had to be an early 80's movieWww@Enter-QA@Com

Testament (1983)
IMDb synopsis:
Nuclear war in the United States is portrayed in a realistic and believable manner!. The story is told through the eyes of a woman who is struggling to take care of her family!. The entire movie takes place in a small suburban town outside San Francisco!. After the nuclear attack, contact with the outside world is pretty much cut off!.
IMDb review:
So many writers here have talked about the various scenes that had such an impact on them, and all of them are right on target!. The acting lends enormous power to all of the ones mentioned -- the scenes between the incomparable Jane Alexander and Roxana Zal, the scene where Brad (Rossie Harris) brings his handicapped friend Hiroshi (Gerry Murillo in a marvelously sincere performance) home to live with him after Hiroshi's father has succumbed to radiation sickness, the scene where the school children continue on with their performance of "The Pied Piper of Hamelin," and so on!. For me, though, the scene where Ms!. Alexander's character helps her youngest son Scottie (Lukas Haas) go to the bathroom in the sink, then rocks with him while they softly sing lullabies together one last time before he dies was the hardest one to bear, and yet I find it mesmerizing!.
I'm not positive that this is your film, as it's been far too long since I've seen it!. About that time, they also aired "The Day After", a powerful TV miniseries about the day the bombs are launched and the catastrophic events that follow!. In England, they had ttheir own TV event~"Threads", which I've heard is even bleaker than "Testament" and "The Day After"!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
