A prova di errore (1964)
Quando il comando strategico aereo nordamericano viene messo in allarme per l'avvistamento di un oggetto volante non identificato diretto verso gli Stati Uniti, i bombaridieri atomici si alzano in volo. Una volta cessato l'allarme i velivoli fanno rientro alla base. Ma un giorno capita che uno stormo, a causa di un guasto alle apparecchiature elettroniche, prosegue il volo in direzione di Mosca. Tra frenetici scambi di ordini avviene l'irreparabile... Con questo film Lumet torna grande, dopo un periodo di pellicole teatrali francamente al di sotto delle sue possibilità. il merito va ascritto anche a un cast di eccellenti attori.
