Overview

September 18, 1980, 6:25 p.m., Titan II base in Damascus, Arkansas. On this fateful night an explosion kills an Air Force member and transforms the lives of everyone on the base. Honing in on a single case of so-called “human error”, Command and Control juxtaposes precision on a minute scale against the gargantuan risks inherent in the United States’ aggressive nuclear proliferation policy during the Cold War.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A meticulous reconstruction of a near-catastrophic nuclear accident that builds unbearable tension through its dissection of how close humanity came to unthinkable disaster. It's a documentation of systems failure, human frailty, and the terrifying gap between procedure and reality when the stakes are existential.
