Let's say that just for the sake of fanfare and theory that a year after the Twilight Zone episode "Two" that the team wanted to turn that episode into a feature length film in Widescreen CinemaScope. The film was called "FALLOUT". The film hit theaters in 1963, a full two years after the Twilight Zone episode. On the morning of October 23, 2077, a representative from the Vault-Tec Corporation arrives and says because of the contributions of their family to the country, they have been chosen to be allowed in the local Vault, Vault 111. The protagonist decides to verify their information. After the representative leaves, Shaun cries and his parent spins a mobile over their crib to calm him down. Codsworth implores the family to see a TV broadcast, confirming that America is being nuked. Sirens begin blaring in Sanctuary Hills, causing all the residents to flee to the local Vault, but only those who are approved access are allowed past a security gate. The bomb and dust. The story really begins 210 years later.
