In Kathryn Bigelow’s film, when military radars detect a nuclear missile headed straight for the continental U.S., the president plus various government individuals and departments have less than 20 minutes to try to neutralize the weapon and formulate a retaliatory response. The only problem? (Other than the catastrophic bomb, of course.) No one has any idea who sent the missile, or why.

It’s an edge-of-your-seat premise as the film tightly follows a group of understandably on-edge political actors who must navigate the unthinkable. Some are forced to stay behind to deal with the dilemma while others are evacuated; others still have loved ones directly located in the potential impact zone, raising their personal stakes in the crisis. Everyone has a part to play as the political drama unfolds, but perhaps none more so than the handful of armed forces members tasked with stopping the missile before it’s too late.

In the film, Ground-Based Interceptor missiles (GBIs) have a 61 percent success rate in destroying incoming weapons. (A “f—ing coin toss,” as one character puts it.) However, the Missile Defense Agency memo sent this month counters that its multi-billion-dollar defense systems have “displayed a 100 percent accuracy rate in testing for more than a decade.” Speaking to Deadline, an anonymous “well-positioned military official” also said that “the results [of their systems testing] are very very good, with the program scheduled to grow over the next decade.”
