The sight of an armed traffic warden with his head bandaged is maybe the most memorable of the many pictures from Threads that will remain in your memory long after the movie is ended.
Actor Michael Beecroft played this traffic warden, and the BBC reports that a documentary team recently located him in an attempt to identify the man behind the intimidating face.
His visage quickly rose to prominence as one of the most recognizable representations of post-apocalyptic drama.
In order to adequately warn viewers for the atrocities they would soon see, the BBC included a significantly lengthier disclaimer before Threads when it was first shown on television.
The chance is you’re now either anxious to watch the film or utterly focused on avoiding it. But any way, it truly is described as something we should all see once in our lives.
