You seem to be speaking about what reactions "would have been," as if this movie had not actually aired. The movie did air twice and the reactions were as one would expect. Pro-nukes said that the movie demonstrated why we needed to have nuclear weapons (for deterrence) and anti-nukes said that it showed why we should not have them (fall into wrong hands, used as a result of bad advice). These two sides essentially canceled each other out and there was no discernible difference to the mood in the country at the time.
