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.

It's Kathryne Bigelow's first movie in almost a decade. An epic multi-front examination of America's response [to] a possible nuclear strike, with an all-star cast and superb performances. And it's a massively frustrating experience that ultimately goes nowhere and has nothing to say for itself. So join me for my review.
