The Threat of Nuclear Armageddon
The risk of nuclear conflict is higher today than ever before, making it essential to revive stalled efforts towards disarmament and arms control.
A recently released thriller, "A House of Dynamite", available in cinemas and on Netflix, sheds light on the threat of nuclear Armageddon, a topic once considered a relic of the past following the end of the Cold War.
The film tells how political and military decision-makers attempt to respond to a crisis triggered by the discovery of an intercontinental ballistic missile over the Pacific Ocean that could reach the US mainland within minutes.
Through different perspectives, the film highlights our vulnerability despite advanced defence systems and strategic war games, and how a single nuclear attack could quickly escalate into a global catastrophe.
The film's scenario is not a distant fantasy, but a reflection of an increasingly realistic present.
Author's summary: Nuclear conflict risk is higher than ever.
