Either one dies...or they all do.

5 people trapped in a bunker after a nuclear and biological attack are forced to make an impossible decision - either one dies or they all die.

Things are afoot Internationally - Chinese conversations are overheard by US intelligence - rumours abound that something is about to happen... Oblivious to the potential threat everything carries on a normal in the thirty something world of well to do Sydney. Are those bush fires in the distance? The phone call received by Nick suggests they are more than that... His Plan A goes into action - do what you have to do to survive - and help the woman you love - - who caries this and one other secret from her husband... An explosion; a cloud; panic; fear; survival. 5 head to a 1960's nuclear shelter underneath the block they live in - a shelter designed for 2 adults and two kids - for fourteen days - but with "Agent Four" reported they are going to be trapped for much longer... As food and water begins to run out it becomes increasingly clear problems are heading their way - with the biological and nuclear agents outside reinforcing they are trapped - and forced to make an impossible decision - either one dies or the whole group dies... How do they determine who sacrifices themselves; who lives and who dies? Why did Nick have blood on his shirt when he arrived in the Shelter and will Anthony find out the two darkest secrets held by Michelle, his wife - and as the clock ticks away how do they determine their individual fate and that of the group ? Described by critics as "gripping" "suspenseful" "Indie Film at its best" be careful the story draws you in, twist and turns and keeps you on your toes all the way to the brutal end.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
