A three hour long "work print" of "The Day After" surfaced on YouTube in 2019. This work print features many additional scenes that were cut out of the final version prior to broadcast, along with multiple scene extensions and alternate edits of sequences that were in the final version. Effectively, the additions further round out the stories of most of the characters, and (in one particular case) clarify the fate of a couple of main characters. This "work print" version is missing titles, has incomplete special effects shots, and alternate sound effects and dubbing.
The Day After
In the mid-1980s, the U.S. is poised on the brink of nuclear war. This shadow looms over the residents of a small town in Kansas as they continue their daily lives. Dr. Russell Oakes maintains his busy schedule at the hospital, Denise Dahlberg prepares for her upcoming wedding, and Stephen Klein is deep in his graduate studies. When the unthinkable happens and the bombs come down, the town's residents are thrust into the horrors of nuclear winter.
