The
Original FAIL SAFE (1964) on Blu-ray 1/28 from Criterion Collection
This
unnerving procedural thriller painstakingly details an
all-too-plausible nightmare scenario in which a mechanical failure
jams the United States military’s chain of command and sends the
country hurtling toward nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Working
from a contemporary best seller, screenwriter Walter Bernstein and
director Sidney Lumet wrench harrowing suspense from the doomsday
fears of the Cold War era, making the most of a modest budget and
limited sets to create an atmosphere of clammy claustrophobia and
astronomically high stakes. Starring Henry Fonda as a coolheaded U.S.
president and Walter Matthau as a trigger-happy political theorist,
Fail Safe
is a long-underappreciated alarm bell of a film, sounding an urgent
warning about the deadly logic of mutually assured destruction.
