House of Dynamite gets it wrong. The "triad" ensures MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction.) No massive launch could hit all submarine and bomber nukes on either side, airborne or underwater 24/7. Enough nukes would survive to wipe out every city on Earth many times, no matter who starts it.
This was a fundamental tenet of the Cold War. It may have kept the peace for 70 years.
For a better movie on the futility of nuclear war, you cannot beat Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece Dr. Strangelove.
