Countdown to Looking Glass [1984]
1:26:26


Docudrama uses fictional reports of a crisis in the Middle East, which leads to a nuclear confrontation between the US and the USSR. "Looking Glass" is the code word for the Strategic Air Command's control plane which is to be used in the case of nuclear war. Mention the similarities between the story and today's geo-political situation.

I must say that I really like those Cold War-era docudrama's and films. They shed light on a rather interesting mindset.

Just finished watching the entire video.

My strongest impression is that the Europeans and Americans of 25-30 years ago were much more serious and sober-minded than we are today. If they could see what has happened to us and what we have become, they would be horrified. :(

Yes, this is only a movie, but my instinctive recollections tell me that this is so.
