Factual errors: When Walter opens the door in order to jump out of the plane, there's some wind in the lounge. In reality, due to the pressure differences between the inside of the plane and the exterior atmosphere (especially in those altitudes), everything should have been sucked right out of the door.See more »

A miniscule budget works against the Cold War political theme of guilt and responsibility over control of nuclear weapons, in this little disaster film/morality tale hybrid. The dialogue leaves a lot to be desired, and the budget is non-existent. But a germ of an idea is there. The ending won't surprise anyone used to "The Twilight Zone."
