The Threat of Nuclear Armageddon
The risk of nuclear conflict is higher today than ever before.
The film "A House of Dynamite" takes a powerful look at the threat of nuclear Armageddon, a topic considered a thing of the past after the Cold War.
In the film, the US military discovers an intercontinental ballistic missile over the Pacific Ocean that could reach the US mainland within minutes.
It becomes clear how vulnerable we are despite sophisticated defence systems and strategic war games, and how quickly a single attack using a nuclear weapon could escalate into a global catastrophe within minutes.
The film is not a distant fantasy, but reflects an increasingly realistic scenario of our present.
Author's summary: Nuclear conflict risk is higher than ever.
