Good thing people in the ’50s were also big on bomb shelters, which is how some people managed to survive in underground shelters called Vaults.
But so did the atomic bombs, as the world learns first hand when a nuclear war decimates the planet in 2077. The world of the Fallout games is one in which the art-deco style of the 1950s persisted, even as we developed robots and nuclear-powered cars. And while we don’t much about the show yet, what we have learned makes us excited to wander the wasteland again.
Now, Prime Video is planning to bring that unique perspective to television, and with some help from people who made the games. While there’s been plenty of movies, books, and comics set in post-apocalyptic worlds, few have been as unique as those in the numerous ’50s-flavored Fallout games.
