How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meticulously crafted Cold War nightmare where a single technical failure sets the machinery of mutual destruction in motion. The film traps you in bunkers with desperate men trying to stop the unstoppable, mounting dread as rational actors confront an irrational situation.
