Description
Art tribute to the movie version based on the novel "Fail Safe".
Fail Safe is a 1964 Cold war thriller film directed by Sidney Lumet, based on the 1962 novel of the same name by Eugene Burdick and Harvey Wheeler. It portrays a fictional account of a Cold War nuclear crisis. The film features performances by veteran actors Henry Fonda, Dan O'Herlihy, Walter Matthau and Frank Overton. Larry Hagman, Fritz Weaver, Dom DeLuise and Sorrell Booke appeared in early film roles.
The film is about how Cold War tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States lead to an accidental thermonuclear first-strike. An error sends a group of US bombers (actual Convair B-58 Hustler aircraft) to bomb Moscow.
In 2000 the novel was adapted again as a televised play, starring George Clooney, Richard Dreyfuss and Noah Wyle, and broadcast live in black-and-white on CBS.
