Noting the similarities between this tense and entirely serious thriller and his own satire, Dr. Strangelove, Stanley Kubrick went to Columbia's top brass and cried plagiarism. The studio appeased Kubrick by releasing his film first, leaving critics to dismiss this as little more than a comparatively dreary rehash. It's not. As a squadron of SAC bombers flies off to drop nuclear bombs on Moscow after a faulty transmission of orders that cannot be reversed, the president (Henry Fonda) attempts to convince Russian leaders that it's all a terrible blunder.
