There's a movie called Threads that starts out like that. If you haven't watched it, do. It's the most realistic depiction of nuclear apocalypse you'll get to see.

Haha if that's not a bad omen I don't know what is

Gonna have to check it out, The Day After is another good depiction of what we could expect in case of a nuclear war.

A little less realistic, as it starts as animation before slowly incorporating live-action footage as things get dire and more depressing, but When the Wind Blows is also a very good depiction of what happens to regular civilians during a nuclear war. Distressing and depressing film, but a good one.

We really need modern films like that to remind people what's at stake.

Give yourself some time and space afterwards though. When I watched it, I didn’t get much sleep the night after

Yeah, it's pretty heavy stuff.
