What're your favourite films about an impending/imminent nuclear apocalypse?

I love any film or show that portrays the tension/confusion in a "realistic" way where government jobbers are suddenly sweating over having to run through the procedures for real. Threads was good for that, I liked House of Dynamite's 1st half because of it too.

Not so much interested in movies about the aftermath/post apocalypse, but rather the run-up to and moment of impact and how people react.

I don't mind post-apocalyptic ones at all, so thanks for the suggestion!

I guess watching House of Dynamite gave me an itch to see that panic setting in of
