I'm going to try something a bit different here. I have an idea, but before I start writing, I want to make sure that it is not cliche, and is an interesting concept. Feel free to suggest anything you think would be interesting

The idea itself starts a few months before nuclear war. A family is setting up a personal bunker due to the threat of war on the horizon. However, they end up trapped inside because of an accident with the lock, and the family is trapped with little food and water. The bunker itself is so solid (as to protect from the bombs) that it is sound proof, so the have no way to get help.

After a period of time the family starts hearing large earthquakes inside the bunker. However they realise these earthquakes are nuclear bombs. A small part of the bunker collapse and slowly, very small amounts of radiation leak in. Between the radiation, isolation, and lack of food, a member of the family begins to go insane in some way.

This is all I have at the moment. Please let me know if these sounds good, and anything you guys think I should change.
