Academy Award and Golden Globe-winner Sean Connery ("The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," "The Rock") is a stubborn, explosive, nonconformist poet who takes on the world at large. This screwball comedy from Emmy-nominated director Irvin Kershner ("The Empire Strikes Back," "Never Say Never Again") reveals a dark side when it shows the ultimate consequences of Connery's behavior. The top-notch all-star cast includes Academy Award, Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Joanne Woodward (TV's "Empire Falls" miniseries, "Sybil"), Golden Globe-nominee Jean Seberg ("Airport," "Breathless") and Emmy-winner Colleen Dewhurst (TV's "Murphy Brown," "Dying Young").

One of the greatest anti-war thrillers ever, Fail-Safe stars Henry Fonda, Walter Matthau, Dan O'Herlihy, Larry Hagman and Fritz Weaver (in his film debut) as a group of military men on the verge of World War III. When a military computer error deploys a squadron of SAC bombers to destroy Moscow, the American President (Fonda) tries to call them back. But their sophisticated fail-safe system prevents him from aborting the attack, so he must convince the Soviets not to retaliate. In desperation, the President offers to sacrifice an American city if his pilots succeed in their deadly mission over Moscow. A four-star techno-thriller that builds tension and suspense with every tick of the nuclear clock.
