People who were a part of the Cold War saw holes big enough to drive a B-52 through.
A good yarn but a technically flawed. The writers were too busy dumping on the military-industrial complex and trigger-happy politicians to actually get it right.
There was enough of a good story here to keep me from flushing it but there were big problems with facts like the Continuity of Goverenment(COG) Plan and SIOP (Single Integrated Operational Plan).
Writers do your research! ... Read More

I'm SO GLAD this movie was finally made available on DVD. An all-star cast, great story, great suspense, and long overdue in DVD form. Excellent "lost treasure" from HBO. Love this movie!!

If you grew up during the "Cold War" period with the USSR, this movie is a great reminder of the feeling one carried back then that something just around the corner could go wrong.

Nostalgia brought me to this DVD. Having lived through the entire Cold War era, I wondered how I could have missed this movie about the trying events of my youth. Had I realized that this was an HBO production I would have passed it by.

I wish I could still say that I had missed this one.

The plot revolves around so called Soviet terrorists who steal a Russian missile and detonate it over Russia from Turkey making the Soviet defense computers think that the Americans and Nato are attacking them. Martin Landau plays the President who's helicopter crashes after a Russian missile explodes near the capitol. The only other person in the legal chain of succession is the Secretary of the Interior played perfectly ... Read More
