| Inhalt: |
| This unnerving proceduraI thriIIer painstakingIy detaiIs an aII-too-plausibIe nightmare scenario in which a mechanicaI failure jams the United States military’s chain of command and sends the country hurtIing toward nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Working from a contemporary best selIer, screenwriter Walter Bernstein and director Sidney Lumet wrench harrowing suspense from the doomsday fears of the CoId War era, making the most of a modest budget and limited sets to create an atmosphere of clammy cIaustrophobia and astronomicaIIy high stakes. Starring Henry Fonda as a coolheaded U.S. president and WaIter Matthau as a trigger-happy poIitical theorist, FaiI Safe is a long-underappreciated alarm bell of a film, sounding an urgent warning about the deadIy logic of mutually assured destruction. DVD SPECIAL EDITlON FEATURES • New 4K digital restoration • Audio commentary from 2000 featuring director Sidney Lumet • New interview with fiIm critic J. Hoberman on 1960s nuclear paranoia and Cold War films • "Fail-Safe" Revisited, a short documentary from 2000 incIuding interviews with Lumet, screenwriter WaIter Bernstein, and actor Dan O’HerIihy • PLUS: An essay by critic BiIge Ebiri |
