This Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics page is a great review of what is depicted in the flick.

A sample:

'Fortunately, it's possible to outrun the expanding wall of fire from an exploding city on foot and escape unharmed just milliseconds before the fire ball arrives. This assumes that you have a reasonable head start, don't have too far to run before reaching shelter, and are the beautiful girl friend of one of the movie's heroic fighter pilots.

'Unfortunately the physics say otherwise. A flame front several miles wide and hundreds of feet tall would emit an enormous amount of radiant heat. This would sear people well before the fire ball arrived. Those who were sheltered enough to survive the heat would most likely be asphyxiated. The massive fire ball would consume all the oxygen in the area.'

I.D... my pick for the stupidest movie of the decade, and that is a truly remarkable achievement.

I remember how half the people in the theater cheered when the capitol building was detonated. I'm guessing that's not an isolated experience...

If anyone likes Margaret Colin (white girl who is assistant to the president) she has a pretty good role on Now and Then, on the sci fi channel, sunday at 10 am est.
