The greatest film in history. "Fail-Safe" was a perfect production crossed with an ultimate cast. Made in 1964 it may have saved the planet. It showed what might happen if the "nuke 'em' system"
fucked-up. Fail-Safe sobered its audiences. It made the world more "nuclear smart." Writers
Burdick and
Heller haunted the world with their view of a possibly tragic future.
