I WAS SURPRISED THE MOVIE WAS IN BLACK AND WHITE. THIS WASN'T MENTIONED IN THE DESCRIPTION. IT STARTS OUT SLOW BUT IT IS WELL WORTH IT TO STAY WITH IT UNTIL THE END. GOOD STORY.

It started in black and white that I didn't know would be. At first it was details and talking boring. Then the movie began to change and grab you. You wanted to hear what they said and we wonder what we would do in this situation. Richard Dryfus president? He was a very good president, as you eavsdrop on what people say or think. Ended very good movie

This was a well done movie. Because it was broadcast on live television, you get more of a stage play feeling than a movie. I also loved the black and white presentation, it helps you get the 1960s "cold war" feel that the movie was trying to bring across.

Chilling, heartbreaking, suspensful, great acting, historically plausible. Much insight into the past political and military perspectives on U.S. and Soviet strategy for nuclear warfare.

Great drama, and very thought-provoking. All the actors, from Richard Dreyfuss on down gave excellent performances. I remember how chilling it was when it was live, and a lot of that survived the transfer to DVD. I only wish there was a commentary track; it would have been interesting to hear the director's comments.
