After some research, the earliest movie I could find, which features a nuclear holocaust (and the survivors) is a 1951 movie, Five, which means that it did not predate Trinity nuclear tests
I find it very difficult to cross-validate this, though I referred to List of Nuclear Holocaust Fiction on Wiki, to start with.
The movie entry for articles on this movie, on TCM, speaks about this movie, as being the first to depict nuclear holocaust...
It is remembered today as the first film to portray life after a
nuclear holocaust; later this theme was approached by major studios in
big-budget films such as The World, the Flesh and the Devil and On the
Beach (both 1959).
