    It's a movie made around the late 70's early 80's I believe. I think it was an HBO movie. People are selected to test out a bomb shelter. While in the shelter a nuclear war starts or so it would seem. The people are left to fend for themselves in the shelt to be studied.

    I believe that you are referring to one of the New Twilight Zone episodes called "Shelter Skelter" that aired around 1986. There was also an original Twilight Zone episode called "The Shelter" along similar lines.

    I read the Wiki files and I would say no to both. In this movie a group of people are asked to just test the shelter for 30 days or however long so the shelter can be tested and the people can be studied. While in the shelter they are fooled into thinking that a real nuclear war has started and now they have to stay indefinetly. Mayhem ensues.

    How about Control, aka The Day Before by HBO Showcase in 1987?

    Fifteen strangers take part in an experiment to learn whether such a group can survive in a cramped disaster fallout shelter.
    Stars include Ben Gazzara and Burt Lancaster.
