The plot is solid. I did not realize until after I earaches this, it was was a made for TV movie. That kind of explains the B list cast. What stood out for me was that Martin Landau was not a good choice for the President. Worse than this, I have never seen such horrific acting by Rebecca De Mornay. It was laughable.
As for the premise, I found it though provoking. We have a system in place for these nightmarish scenarios. We do psychological testing and training to make sure the pilots, the commanders and the ones who push the buttons to make sure they will do their "duty" at the time. But, it can all fail if one person decides they just can do it. Good film.
