As the Soviet Union begins to undergo radical political change, a group of renegade Soviet military officers steal a nuclear missile & launch it towards the Soviet Union from Turkey. When the missile hits, Soviet defense systems see the weapon was launched from Turkey & assume a NATO attack is in progress. The Soviet response begins, launching ICBMs at the United States from both submarines & land based silos. At the same time, China launches an attack against the Russian border, per a treaty with the United States.

The film is a very good dipiction of what may have happened if the cold war had continued. It explores the relationship of two US airforce personel who have a relationship & how this affects their ability to react in a time of war & how the overall sensibility of mankind rises above the orders of the military. The first time I saw this film I was wowed, a very underated film.
