Netflix's hit streaming movie Leave the World Behind has its share of outlandish, apocalyptic mayhem. But it turns out that one of the movie's most bizarre scenes might actually be possible.

The chart-topping film centres around the Sandford and Scott families, who find themselves sharing a country house outside of New York City. As surreal events befall the group (and society at large), a sense of paranoid distrust steadily grows. Around the one-hour mark, just after "Death to America" pamphlets rain from the sky, the Sandfords decide they'll take their chances with fleeing their vacation home via the expressway to New Jersey.
