This film was made by the U.S. Air Force for the Strategic Air Command and shows a simulation of a “Quick Strike” response to a surprise Soviet nuclear attack against the United States and Europe. In the nuclear conflict that’s depicted, millions die across the United States, Japan, Europe, and Russia. Probably used for training, the film was made public by George Washington University’s National Security Archive in 2011. close
