It's not impossible to survive a nuclear explosion. A reinfored concrete house inside the blast zone can survive a nuclear blast. Provided you're at a sufficient distance from ground zero, an underground shelter would shield you quite well from the initial burst of intense radiation, and the reinforced building could withstand the following blast wave(s). A minute or so afterwards, you could leave the site quickly in a car, to escape the fallout before it reaches your location. In theory you could do this and, with a bit of luck, not suffer any lasting ill effects at all, which isn't to say that I'd ever consider trying it out for myself of course.
I wouldn't be surprised if the directors have been inspired by films like these (note the reinforced concrete building in this one):

I quite like the atmosphere in this movie, and I hope we get to see something like it in Indy 4:
