In the story, the “Barbie” of Fallout is of course Lucy, played by actress Ella Purnell, who has spent her entire life in an underground shelter. An idealist who emerges from his cocoon to discover desolation all over the world.

For Oppenheimer’s side, Fallout takes place 200 years after a nuclear apocalypse, where the wealthiest people have moved into these famous underground shelters to escape radiation and other dangers, including survivors who literally live in the wild state.
