On the Brink: Doomsday

Plot

During the Cold War, the frantic stockpiling of nuclear arms in the U.S. and in the Soviet Union created a constantly escalating threat of worldwide holocaust. Now take a look at the surprising number of close calls, nail-biting decisions, and terrifying accidents that nearly resulted in the unthinkable destruction of mankind -- through newsreels, declassified military records, and interviews with insiders Alexander Haig and a former Soviet double agent, The Learning Channel constructs a fascinating tale of power, hubris, and fear spiraling out of control. ~ Sarah Welsh, Rovi
