What would happen if every nuclear weapon on Earth exploded at once? Follow an extreme thought experiment from the first flash and blast wave to radioactive fallout, firestorms, nuclear winter and the threat to the world's food supply.

Through nuclear history, archival footage and published research, this documentary explores the immediate destruction and the consequences that could unfold over years.

Climate and famine estimates come from published war scenarios with specific assumptions. Outcomes depend on targets, soot production, climate response and food systems.
