Fail-Safe
“Fail-Safe,” directed by Sidney Lumet, is a tense Cold War thriller that explores the harrowing consequences of a technical malfunction in the U.S. military’s nuclear command system, which mistakenly sends American bombers to attack the Soviet Union. As the President and his advisors race against time to avert a catastrophic nuclear war, the film delves into themes of human error, technological fallibility, and the moral dilemmas faced by those in power.
