The Twilight Zone episode shown was Time Enough at Last! This is a very iconic episode during the time because it occurred during the height of the Cold War between USA and USSR. A lot of fear of an impending war was in the minds of the people which inspired so many things during this era. One of them was this episode and it served as reminder to us all. The story is about a man who loved to read books but is ridiculed by all for doing so. One day at work he decides to read in a vault where he works so not to be disturbed. While doing so, a bomb hits the USA and every one perishes except for him. Not knowing what to do he's on the verge of suicide until he finds a library with all the books intact. Unluckily for him his glasses break therefore he cannot read the books.
If I were to make adaptation of this it would go something like this:
During the height of the war against terrorism, a grown man still loves to play video games but his wife and employers ridicule him for being to childish. They resort to teasing him every chance they get and this just angers the man. One day at work in a Stock Market Firm, he sneaks into the basement to finally finish his game but suddenly he hears explosions every where and is knocked unconscious by falling debris. When he wakes up he finds that every where he looks is in ruins and appears to have no survivors. Panicking, the man goes mad and resorts to suicide by overdose of pills and alcohol. Before he drinks the pills however, he realised his favorite gaming store is still intact and goes to find every thing completely fine. As soon as he was going to play his games, he hears another explosion and sees a mushroom of flame heading towards him. Suddenly he is awoken by his boss in the basement and fires him. He wishes he was dreaming.
