There have been over 2000 nuclear explosions in real life, but if we believe the movies, it seems like every other action movie drops one in for added colour. And I totally get it. I hope to never see a nuclear bomb go off in person but I wouldn’t mind seeing more explosive mushroom cloud visuals in my movies. They look so cool.
Here are the top 10 nuclear bomb scenes in movies according to WatchMojo:
- Dr. Strangelove
- Terminator 2: Judgement Day
- The Day After
- Threads
- The Sum of All Fears
- Armageddon
- Independence Day
- The Dark Knight Rises
- Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
- The Wolverine
