The opening credits sequence, showing Los Angeles burning in a nuclear fire, was originally conceived as part of a vision of a dying Miles Dyson. As he is lying on the floor, mortally wounded, Miles picks up a desk picture of his family. He has a vision of burning landscapes, the result of Judgment Day, which change into a view of his wife and children, happily playing in the sun. With this happy memory becoming his final thought, his arm lowers onto the switch. Although powerful, the sequence was thought to focus too much on a secondary character, so it was re-written as a much more harsh and factual death scene.
