| Description | Based on the true story of Soviet Lt. Col. Stanislav Petrov. In 1983, he commanded the Soviet military bunker monitoring the USSRs spy satellites. One night, a computer alarm signalled an American missile launch and the Kremlin was soon on the line seeking confirmation of an attack. Petrov declared the alarm to be a computer error and refused to set in motion a nuclear strike. He turned out to be right, but at the cost of his career. Cast of either 4 or 7, depending on doubling. To be historically accurate, all would be male. Running time: 7 minutes |
