In september 1983, coincidently just a few months after the release of this movie, a malfunction in the Soviet nuclear warning system showed that an American missile had been launched. If it hadn't been for duty officer Stanislav Petrov's suspicion of it being a false alarm and his decision to disobey military protocol by not reporting a nuclear attack, it's possible that his superiors would have ordered a retalitory nuclear attack against the US. There's a pretty good documentary about the incident called _The Man Who Saved the World_ if anyone's interested.

When he was doing research about the software creator, he was looking through old newspaper and magazine articles that were stored on microfiche, typically at libraries and universities and government agencies. It was basically large spools of film with the article images imprinted on it (like old school film negatives) and you put them in a scanning machine to view the film by rolling them past a camera which shows the images on the large screen you saw on that screen. Nearly everything now is stored on computers (files or the cloud).
@hkpew Жыл бұрын
Mostly right. But the spools were called microfilm, microfiche was similar but with images recorded on film cards. Typically many rows and columns of images on a single card, with each image being a single page. Also the viewing systems for both microfilm and microfiche weren't really cameras, they were simple projection systems. To the extent that such formats are still used it wouldn't surprise me to find out that they are read using a camera tied to a viewing screen, but back then a digital camera (if you could find one at all) would be very expensive, large, and low resolution.

Yes the payphone trick really worked. We had one in my junior high school lobby that you just had to put a straightened out paperclip 📎 in the middle hole of the handset and the keyhole of the coin box and then dial your number, or you could use electrical box punch outs, or small washers as coins of similar size to quarters and nickels for electrical box punch outs, and washers for dimes. You could also annoy people in the office that was about 20' away by using the paperclip technique to call the number of the phone and hang up causing it to keep ringing until someone answered it. Not that I ever did that, I was a good kid and never annoying. There was also a soda machine that you could hold down certain numbers on the keypad to put it into test mode and get free drinks, and a snack machine that you could put clear packaging tape on the edge of a dollar bill, let the machine take it in and as soon as it registered pull it back out and get free snacks, or if you wanted ones on the bottom row just reach in the drop area and pull the flap down and grab them, or so I heard, because I would never do that either 😂.

In the DVD commentary they say the method depicted in the movie was intentionally portrayed so as to NOT work in real life.

Hey Jen, - The two actors in the bunker in the first scene are both famous. The older, higher-ranked one is the late John Spencer who gained fame in his role as White House Chief of Staff Leo McGarry on the series 'The West Wing'. Spencer actually passed away as the series was in its final season. The younger one with dark hair is Michael Madsen who has been in a lot of films including Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs' as Mr. Blonde, and 'Kill Bill' Volumes 1 & 2 as Bud. And, as a heads up, appears as a CIA boss in the last Brosnan Bond film 'Die Another Day'. - Matthew Broderick movies: 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off', 'Biloxi Blues', 'Project X', 'Glory', 'The Freshman', 'LadyHawke', and 'The Producers'. In both 'The Producers' and 'Biloxi Blues' he reprises roles he played on Broadway. He won a Tony for playing Eugene Morris Jerome in 'Biloxi Blues' and was nominated for one for 'The Producers' (but lost to his co-star Nathan Lane, who also is in the film). And, yes, Matthew was in 'Election'. - 15:35 - The voice of Joshua/WOPR was created using the actor who played Stephen Falken, John Wood. From what I remember, he had to read the lines in a variety of ways, then they ran the sound of his voice through a synthesizer, and cut together different readings to give the voice an artificial sound...almost like the voice synthesizer used by the late Dr. Stephen Hawking.

High five for DEFCON 5. 🥰💜 Great Native promo! 👍👍 4:06 - 4.14 I hadn't seen this film in decades, wasn't previously aware that Michael Madsen was in the opening scene. This film is 10 years before Reservoir Dogs, but I see he's still quick to go all 'Mr. Blonde' in a tense situation. 😐 The director of Wargames, John Badham, directed a great cop/buddy/comedy/action film called 'Stakeout' (1987). I think you would enjoy it a lot. Two great male leads as the cops, a very charming and charismatic leading lady who you have seen recently and a great actor playing the villain. The film '13 Days' (2000) is the story of the Cuban Missile Crisis, when the USA and USSR came to the brink of nuclear war. For realsies. :/ An unmissable Matthew Broderick film is 'The Freshman' (1990) - a crime comedy. The plot revolves around a young, somewhat naive, New York film student's entanglement with organized crime in an illicit business of offering exotic and endangered animals as speciality food items, including his being tasked with delivering a Komodo dragon for this purpose. You'll love the casting, they'll give you a performance you can't refuse. Other top Broderick picks are; Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) Comedy Biloxi Blues (1988) Military dramady Glory (1989) US Civil War drama The Cable Guy (1996) Psychological thriller comedy.

The movie is loosely based on the events of 9 November 1979, but it wasn't from an outside source. In NORAD/Cheyenne Mountain, exercise data was inadvertently routed to the various watch centers, but not tagged as exercise data. I was working in the mountain a few years later (~1985) on a program called SPADOC, and as a result of the 9 November 1979 event, we had to have two-person control on our test message media (big two-foot diameter disks) at all times. It was a major PITA. BTW, the tour thing is accurate too. Prior to 9/11 at least, there were always a couple of tours a day. We would always have to suspend tests because of the unclassified tours.

I loved how tense you got, you were so focused on what was happening and what was at stake. A lot of people that are used to today's technology don't experience how real this seemed to us back when it came out. I was in college studying computer science and even back then AIR was a major topic of discussion in the computer world. Another tense underrated movie with Mathew Broderick is The Freshman. The only prerequisite for watching it is watching The Godfather, which I know you've seen. I think you would really enjoy the twisted Web of events in that movie.

i was 14 when this came out, and it seemed very real, the news was full of the possibility of war at any moment. lots of teachers trying to educate us on how to survive, hide under the kitchen table and you will be fine!! but it is still a favorite despite the remembered feelings. it felt real at the time. glad you enjoyed it. :) Matthew Broderick was the up and coming star of the time. quite relevant i suppose considering the rise of AI. love the reactions as always. the novel, i think based on the film, was a lot more tense

I remember in kindergarten, we'd go stand in the hallway for air raid drills. Id always ask the teacher what that meant, none of us kids understood the term. But I remember overhearing two if the teachers saying to each other, annoyed, about what a pointless waste if time it all was. A few years later, I saw a miniseries called "The Day After", (everyone saw it, there were only 3 networks then, and it was event programming.) That was when I understood what the teachers meant. That miniseries shook up everyone, even Reagan, who saw it and completely changed his tone and posture toward the Soviets. Reagan had another reason, though, about the same time a NATO military exercise called "Able Archer" was carried out, and inadvertently brought the world to within 4 hours of russia launching a full strike. This wasn't declassified until like 10 years ago, but the world nearly ended that day.

Matthew Broderick also headlines "Ladyhawke" (Richard Donner, 1985), in which he reunites with John Wood, and which also stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Rutger Hauer, and Leo McKern (if you ever saw "The Blue Lagoon.") Soundtrack is hit or miss. "Chariots of Fire" came out a few years earlier, and showed how "modern" music can fit in a period film. Ladyhawke tried to do something similar, and it ended up dating the score. But yeah, if you want more Broderick, check out "Ladyhawke."

You mentionned the music a few times, if you want the same composer and same director with another technology related movie check out "Blue Thunder" from 1983. It stars Roy Scheider who was the police chief in Jaws and Daniel Stern who was one of the two "wet bandits" from Home Alone. For a nuclear theme movie you may want to check out "Miracle Mile" from 1988 it's a love story. It stars Anthony Edwards (Goose in Top Gun).

It also involves nuclear tension, but it is also an historical movie which answers your question about the highest our DefCon setting has ever been.

The young guy in the silo was Michael Madsen, star of Reservoir Dogs, and many other films. The guy in green trying to open the door after David jams it, is Judge Reinhold, one of the stars of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Dialing every number in an area to see which ones have computers was an actual thing that some people did. After this movie, it became known as "war dialing". However, it couldn't have worked as shown in the movie. David was using an "acoustical" modem, and while it COULD have dialed the phone by playing the tones for the numbers into the mic (that still works with landline phones to this day), it would have no way to hang up the line after each call. You needed a modem that you could directly plug the phone line into for it to be able to do what was shown. Yes, pay phone hacking was a thing. People also discovered special tones that would make the phone/company think that you had deposited coins and all sorts of other stuff. I had programs for my Commodore 64 to generate the different tones, but I never actually tried them out. The ending where the WOPR tries to guess the launch codes was badly written. The launch code was ten characters long. Typically, you have to enter the entire code for a computer to accept it and it would take even a super-computer a VERY long time to run through every possible combination made up of ten characters. However, it was shown that it could guess them one character at a time. Doing it this way should have taken about 2 seconds. With ten numbers and 26 letters, each character in the code only has 36 possibilities. Multiply that by ten characters and that's only 360 codes it needs to try. Even an 80s home computer could guess a ten character code that way in just a few seconds.

I used to get this movie and The Manhattan Project mixed up. The Manhattan Project doesn't star Matthew Broderick, though. Wargames was loosely based on real events, as was The Manhattan Project. Manhattan was about the so-called "radioactive boy scout". In the film a kid steals plutonium, in reality he used americium. Matthew Broderick also started in another sort of similar type of movie called Project X that I only discovered about fifteen years ago. Wargames in 83, Manhattan in 1996, and Project X in 1987. Project X was also based on an actual government program testing whether chimps and bonobos could be trained to fly bombers on nuke missions. I'm about to turn 43. The 1980s were a wild time. The culture consisted of synth pop, cocaine, back to the future, and also omnipresent propaganda of the cold war which boiled down to nuclear paranoia. Thank goodness we live in a so much more enlightened time nowadays😐

Matthew is the lead actor in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, where he also hacks into the school computers. He's also in Tower Heist (2011), which is set during a Thanksgiving time frame. That's not as well-known, but you like heists; he isn't the lead character, though, Ben Stiller is. His girlfriend in this film is in The Breakfast Club, among other films.

On November 9th, 1979, a technician at NORAD mistakenly ran an attack simulation tape - that appeared to be a real attack. So could War Games happen? It almost did that day... we initiated a full nuclear response up to DEFCON 2, IIRC. On January 25th, 1995 the Soviets didn't get the word throughout their defense establishment that a Norwegian scientific missle launch would happen. When the missle launch appeared on their radar, they took it to be a submarine launched nuclear missle. We almost went to WWIII on that day too.
