Forgive the title, this film is superb and well worth the 146 minutes running time.
Plot: An Air-Force General-Burt 'Legend' Lancaster and his three companions, one of whom is Rocky's mardy brother-in-law-Burt Young, break out of a US prison (no, it's not an early A-Team) and pop along to the local missile silo and break in. Now, with his finger on the button to all out nuclear war, General Burt has one or two demands of the chap in the Oval Office...things like...the truth about the Vietnam war!
This is a Cold-War treat, if you can say that? Tense and stressful while being enjoyable and superbly acted in places. Monologues like these you don't hear in films enough.
Line of the film: "...you are some mutherfucker!"
Budget: $6,200,000
Fun Fact: Look out for the live action Pig from Toy Story...look hard.
