We went behind-the-scenes on the set of the big budget video game adaptation to see tomorrow's apocalypse, now.

February day on the Brooklyn waterfront, and the world is ending. A dusting of snow powders the makeshift walkway through the rubble stacked high. Underneath, shanties made of scrap flex and creak with each step. Directly ahead, the disembodied nose of a commercial airliner dangles from the roof of a junkyard saloon. All over town, bullet casings pepper the dirt among the ruins of whatever life was once here. This is a place of violence.

Moving on from the atrium, the rest of the vault very much resembles the look and feel of the game. The aluminum-clad corridors lead to individual rooms, with guillotine doors — many of which actually work — including vault-dweller homes with a retro-futuristic aesthetic, a med bay, and a room that previously served as a makeshift prison cell.Fallout
