For various reasons happened to be up at the time of the day when this unpromoted and unknown film was put on HBO.
I watched it because there was essentially nothing else on.
It is surprisingly good. I have no idea as to the provenance of it, or anything else about it other than having seen it on the small screen beginning at 4:20 in the morning on a difficult day. And it captured my attention, had a decent plot (OK, some technical errors about the "football," but not those kinds of things about which one ought to care in the context), and functional characters, particularly the Vice President.
When this comes on somewhere that you can see it, do. If you care for thought-provoking stuff about the consequences of nuclear weapons in the post-Cold-War era, at least. But it says much about more than that.
Again, oddly good film to have had no publicity whatsoever, at least that I've ever seen.
