Product Description:
''A nuclear attack has been launched against the US. In the middle of the night, on a lonely country highway, a police radio blares this chilling message. There is no mistake --- missiles have been launched. This first alarm is the beginning of a tense drama that pits an unlikely group of late-night travelers against a brutal deputy sheriff --- all of them on a road to an unknown and horrific destiny.
A good cast of characters manage to turn a very low budget production into a gripping and frighteningly realistic terrifying tale of the future.

Rating:  - Maybe it would have been better HAD it been a test
It's difficult to describe how awful this movie is.
The "plot" concerns a group of people stopped at a roadblock prior to a nuclear attack. There are all kinds of characters- most of whom you have seen before- and there's even a crazed killer roaming about.
The photography is terrible, but it looks like they only had about three lights, the "direction" is kind of like "you stand over here and rattle off these idiotic lines,and then we will cut to this other guy standing ... Read More
Rating:  - I don't know what it is
It might be the annoying characters, maybe it's the amatuerish acting, the paranoia of the previous generation might be the attraction or it might be the fact one of the characters in the film actually assualts a truck filled with chickens but I can't not watch this film.
I just wouldn't pay a lot to watch this film.
Rating:  - Good, For What It Is
This Is Not A Test was entertaining enough to keep me immersed in the film. While it is not perfect, it is very watchable, and contains some decent acting. If you like old sci-fi, give it a look. It is more drama than sci-fi, and is almost cheese-free.
Rating: - This is not a movie
On a lonely road at 4 a.m., a police officer has set up a road block and is stopping cars from going any farther in either direction. He stops an old man and his granddaughter, a man driving an eighteen-wheeler and the hitchhiker he picked up, a rich boozy man and his girlfriend, a married couple and a man on a scooter. After getting messages over his radio, he tells everyone that the roads need to be clear because the cities were being evacuated because of an impending nuclear attack. The officer ... Read More
Rating:  - There's Just Something About This Low-Budget Flick That Makes Me Want To See It Again
"This Is Not A Test" is a film that is pretty bad from several different points-of-view, including the writing and the majority of the stiff-as-a-board acting we find throughout the movie. But I find myself not really caring about the film's numerous deficiencies and am, instead, drawn to this movie like a moth toward a flame each time I start watching it.
The first scene in "TINAT" takes place at 4:01 AM one very late night, as Del Oro County Deputy Sheriff Dan Colter (played with an ... Read More
