Synopsis

Nuclear Family follows a young couple, John and Lynn, as they attempt to survive in the wilderness after what seems to be a nuclear holocaust. Accompanied by their 11-year-old daughter, Pauline, they remain constantly on the move, all the while searching for their missing 8-year-old son, Grant. In the aftermath of societal collapse, the family must evade the Berserkers—lawless, brutal men who live by rape, pillage, and destruction. Originally shot as a pilot for a potential TV series, the story explores the family's journey and the revelations they encounter along the way, as they search for Grant and avoid the Berserkers. Written by Clay Keeley, who also served as Executive Producer.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
