Excellent satire about irrational hysteria

Rating: 7/10 (11 February 2008)

Could not help but find correlations between this 1964 satire about nuclear holocaust and our present day war against terror and those with weapons of mass destruction, whether they have them or not.
George Scott was excellent and funny in a strange way. It is not hard to sell danger and create a panic among others. One only needs to tell them they are about to be attacked. Whether the assertion is true or not makes no difference.
The scene where the pilot of the plane climbs down to free a jammed door and rides the atomic weapon joyfully to its target reminded me somehow of our own George W.
