Alicia I love this movie so much

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Jim Colyer William Shatner again! Hitler bombing Londoners with V-2 missiles! The war ends, and German scientists are brought to the United States. But the Russians are moving and put the Sputnik satellite in space in October, 1957, which I remember. ICBMs are the thing! H-Bombs! Eisenhower turns to Wernher von Braun, and the U.S. launches Explorer I. The power grid is of concern. We are in a nuclear weapons race. Kennedy and Khrushchev face off, and testing continues. I was 16 and naive when the Cuban missile crisis occurred. Production of nuclear-tipped missiles on both sides was out of control. Reagan and his SDI initiative is covered. Since then, North Korea has become a nuclear threat, and Kim Jong-Un has voiced his intention of attacking the the U.S. President Trump is adamant about updating our nuclear arsenal.

Douglas_Holmes This is a worthy companion film to THE ATOMIC BOMB MOVIE, also narrated by William Shatner. Concentrating on the delivery systems for lofting the weapons into space rather than on the technical aspects of the bombs/warheads themselves, this provides balance of a technological sort to the other film. There is much to be learned from this film, particularly in relation to Cold War politics.There are some good extra features (including a televised speech by president Dwight D. Eisenhower,) and as in the other film the musical score varies between "triumphal" themes and lovely music that is almost Classical. I recommend this very highly.
