Produced by the Burroughs Corporation in 1956, “Bombproof” is a fascinating Civil Defense film with something of a hidden agenda — in that it shows the importance of keeping microfilm versions of corporate records in the Atomic Age. The fictional Donovan Manufacturing Company, with prolific Hollywood actor Walter Abel starring as its CEO J.B. Donovan, used microfilm processing (a service provided by the Burroughs Corp.) to preserve vital company records and is one of the few able to sustain business after the H-Bomb drops.

In an era when data backup and cyber security are more important than ever, this film still has something relevant to say!
