A fun what-if

Back in the 60’s, we had the threat of nuclear war. Many people built fallout shelters. While most shelters were just holes in the ground, Calvin Webber (Christopher Walken) went all out and built an environment to sustain his “family to be” for the duration. Due to a series of mishaps, they are convinced that the war is taking place and descend to their underground abode. There, they raise their newborn son with loving care. 35 years later, it is time to test the waters. What they find is beyond their speculation, and this is the first time out for their son. This is the story of the adventures of the son (Brendan Fraser) and what he found. Will he find a woman to return with or have to settle for a mutant? The first shocker is the soundtrack of Randy Newman singing “Political Science.” The song is just as (in) appropriate today.
