A prova di errore
Diretto da Sidney LumetQuando il comando strategico aereo nordamericano viene messo in allarme per l'avvistamento di un oggetto volante non identificato diretto verso gli Stati Uniti, i bombaridieri atomici si alzano in volo. Una volta cessato l'allarme i velivoli fanno rientro alla base. Ma un giorno capita che uno stormo, a causa di un guasto alle apparecchiature elettroniche, prosegue il volo in direzione di Mosca. Tra frenetici scambi di ordini avviene l'irreparabile... Con questo film Lumet torna grande, dopo un periodo di pellicole teatrali francamente al di sotto delle sue possibilità. il merito va ascritto anche a un cast di eccellenti attori.

- flavo4328 novembre 2025Fail Safe is one of the most gripping and sobering nuclear-war dramas ever made. Released in 1964, it presents a terrifyingly plausible scenario: an accidental signal sends a U.S. bomber group toward Moscow with orders to strike, triggering a global crisis that no one can stop. In a desperate attempt to prevent full-scale Armageddon, the United States agrees to sacrifice one of its own cities—an unthinkable decision that leads to profound personal tragedy for those involved. The film is stark, tense, and claustrophobic, unfolding almost like a stage play as leaders, soldiers, and families grapple with the consequences of failure in the nuclear command system. It raises sharp questions about deterrence, automation, human error, and the illusion of control in an age of doomsday weapons. While Fail Safe didn’t perform as well at the box office—largely overshadowed by Dr. Strangelove, which explored similar themes in satirical form—it remains a haunting, powerful classic.
- Grampa Caligula2 gg faOne of the best 'systemic failure' movies out there, and a guaranteed cure to any residual joy in your life.
- Jonathon Pack15 novembre 2025There are mostly just people in rooms talking but this is incredibly stressful and is a film I think I'm going to be pondering and referencing often for a long time.
- Michael Surber23 ottobre 2025A simply chilling cold war epic film. The boldest "what if" tale ever. An all star cast that starts with Henry Fonda at the top. Just watch it.
- Kevin Ward2 luglio 2025Really loved this. Cold War thriller that imagines a scenario where the fail safe mechanisms of nuclear warfare breakdown and the worst case scenarios play out and no one has any power to stop it. It’s a tense thriller where the tension has been ramped up by its minimalist production and score. Though a product of its time, it’s hard not to see how fail safe could speak into the present, particularly the use of artificial intelligence. The prescient fear of the consequence of relegating world altering decisions and safeguards to artificial mechanisms, while we sit on the sidelines watching our own doom play out on computer monitors, powerless to alter our trajectory. Dark stuff and a fantastically dark ending. Released in the same year as Dr. Strangelove, this is a fantastic companion piece from the brilliant Sidney Lumet. Highly recommend.
- Chris29 dicembre 2024“You learned too well, professor. You learned so well the now there’s no difference between you and what you want to kill.” - General Warren A. Black. A chilling Cold War epic. Such a great and powerful cast. Even future funny man Dom DeLuise and the future commissioner of Hazzard County makes a sneaky dramatic appearance.⛑🕸☎️
