Now I enjoyed Fail Safe, Wargames, Dr Strangelove, Colossus etc all entertaining and thought provoking in their own way, but for sheer brutal reality you can't beat the low budget TV film "Threads" - I watched it in the 80s when if first came out, just watched again.

Superb cast in that, considering it was only a TV movie.

As it happens, James Earl Jones' first film role was in, "Dr. Strangelove".
