A psychotic American commander worried about the subversive effects of water fluoridisation on his "vital bodily fluids" starts off an attack on the Soviet Union. No-one can stop the fighters and no-one, as yet, knows about the failsafe Doomsday Machine. Brilliant black comedy.

THIRTEEN DAYS (2001)
Certification12 Our Rating
Gripping dramatization of the goings on in the White House during the Cuban Missile Crisis, revealing how close the American military were to starting World War 3 after the Soviets responded to the placement of first strike nuclear weapons in Turkey by trying to place them in Cuba. As the world teetered on the nuclear brink a small number of White House aides fought off the majority view, and peace prevailed as Kennedy capitulated and agreed the withdrawal of US weapons from Turkey. Excellent.
