Fail-Safe
Sidney Lumet | USA | 1964 | 112 minutes
 | Released in the same year as Dr Strangelove, this picture, with a very similar plot is often unfairly overlooked. When a series of human and technical errors cause an American squadron to launch a nuclear strike against Moscow, the President must persuade and work with the Kremlin to avoid all-out war. Terrifying in its plausibility this film will make you truly thankful that the cold war is over.
