How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A high-stakes nuclear standoff thriller that treats geopolitical brinkmanship with Cold War seriousness, as a disgraced general weaponizes state secrets to force accountability from the highest office. It's a propulsive cat-and-mouse game between a man with nothing to lose and a government desperate to contain the truth.
