A House of Dynamite
It was just another day in the world when an ICBM from an unknown source over the eastern Pacific was detected heading for the U.S. This scenario is reminiscent of 3 movies from 1964: “Fail Safe”, “Seven Days in May”, & “Dr. Strangelove”. Various strategic control centers go on high alert & people scramble to determine if this is a test launch, some type of error, or the beginning of a nuclear attack. With the clock ticking & the missile advancing, people start following protocol, looking for answers, trying countermeasures, contacting governments, & evacuating key personnel to protected bunkers. Witness some key decisions & the possible options. See the stress on the people in charge trying to stay on task while struggling with their personal concerns. The world is on the brink of nuclear disaster & the President has to make that final decision: Standdown or Counterattack. This is a thought provoking intense drama that no one wants to face. Is it insanity or reality? Is it surrender or suicide?
Alien gives it 3 “hitting a bullet with a bullet@“ stars out of 4.
