Fail-Safe, 1964

A confused computer causes a unit of the Strategic Air Command to launch an H-bomb attack on the

Soviet Union. The U.S. President (Henry Fonda) hops to the hotline and tries to persuade the Soviet

Premier that the assault is unintentional. Their first two conversations are harrowing. The whole of history

seems consummated in an instant; Armageddon rages in a telephone booth.
