The Mouse That Roared (1959)
De hertogin van Grand Fenwick besluit dat de enige manier om uit de economische problemen in haar land te komen, de oorlog te verklaren aan de VS is, deze te verliezen en buitenlandese hulp te aanvaarden. Ze sturen een invasie macht naar New York, welke aankomt tijdens een nucleaire oefening waardoor de straten zijn ontruimd. Rondzwervend op zoek naar iemand om zich aan over te geven, komen ze een wetenschapper tegen met een speciaal ultiem wapen dat de wereld kan vernietigen. Als zij hem gevangen nemen en zijn bom hebben worden ze geconfronteerd met een nieuwe mogelijkheid... Wat doe je als je een oorlog wint ?
