Search found 1 match: Steve Carell

For some bizarre reason I got insomnia trying to think of the name of this movie I watched back in the early 90's. It was either a for-cable movie, or a lesser-known foreign title that got some late night HBO airing. I would have sworn the title was something like "[something]... for the end of the word ...[something]". Mostly I think it was about a romance either forming as a result of or enduring the onset of a nuclear war, through the vantage point of someplace where you wouldn't have flattened cities, but instead have a void in the order of the world left by the US and USSR blasting each other.

I have a feeling it was supposed to be in the Australian outback, or some type of similar area outside normal civilization, that they either flee to, or are trying to pass through to get to someplace safe. At some point they are in a small engine plane that just shuts down because - I'm pretty sure - it encounters and EMP (there was no FX, just every matter of fact) as part of a nuclear war that starts. After the plane goes down, the guy's arm is partially stuck to the door of the plane if I remember correctly, and he has to walk around with it for a while.

Trouble is everything I search keeps turning up that Steve Carell movie... which is definitely NOT it.
