I interpreted this movie as yet another method of instilling fear within us. Anyone who's taken a U.S. history class knows of the events of Hiroshima, and practically everyone in the world knows of the events of September 11th. In my opinion, anyone with a brain is aware of the potential for a nuclear attack, and that as resentment grows and technology develops through time, the chances of such an attack happening get better and better. Why spend so much money creating a docu-drama with good actors and professional screen shots about a nuclear situation everyone's already familiar with? Why not spend less money and just make a documentary, with more facts and less dodgy U.S. glorification? This film totally portrays the U.S. as this do-good administration of compassionate pacifists (as another reviewer pointed out), which, as I'm sure the majority of us are aware, isn't quite the whole story. And I'm sorry, but from the get-go, the tag line, "this film is based on facts" really bugged me, especially since the storyline is fictional. Facts such as that there are terrorists out there plotting to nuke other countries, most notably us? No way, really!? Who would've guessed?
