Silo operators where often exposed to this kind of dry run. These men would get an order to launch and never know if it was a real launch or a practice. My dad was a Siloman back in the 70s they where always running dry runs. The base commander could order any launch room disconnected from the system so they could run a practice drill that the guys in the silo had no idea was not a real launch. They would follow SOP then wait for a call from command to let them know it was an exercise.

There was, and I assume still is, a redundancy system with the nuclear weapons program. It is a two vote rule, I believe. One missile crew cannot agree to launch a nuclear war, even if you could get the MLCC the DMCC to agree to such a treacherous act. Another crew in another capsule has to launch at the same time. Also, if war occurred, two other capsule crews could initiate the launch for the other crew. So, if the missile commander in this video had moral reservations about killing 20 million people, two other commanders would not. I would rather have three dedicated crews who would do the job if political failure necessitated it, than a good guy who couldn't do the job that two other crews had to do for him!

In reality, a failure of one silo crew to launch wouldn't matter. The silos are interconnected, and if a large majority of crews in various locations do follow through with the launch, the crews that did not launch would be automatically overridden and their missiles would be launched remotely and automatically.

In my childhood memories, only a few life fragments are remembered, and this fragment of the movie is still very profound. The last sentence of the young man, "Turn you a key, sir", has some influence on my life .

The scariest scene in a movie is not Dracula nor some serial killer with a blood-dripping axe. It is the moment the ICBMs leave their silos in "The Day After".

I saw this movie on "ON" T.V. and/or HBO in late 1983/early 1984 as a 9 year old. This part out of the whole movie terrified me the most.

the one thing that annoys me in this scene is the code authentication. When they wrote down the codes then said standby for authentication and immediately after agree on the authentication. The real sop would be the commander and lieutenant would write down the codes and then swap books to authenticate that both their messages are the 100 percent the same. Then only after they physically authenticate each other codes they would get their launch code from the box.

I was in USAF Nuclear Weapons Security back when this movie came out. Our mission included B-52 bombers. If a Klaxon went off and the bombers taxied to the runway, then came back, it was just an exercise. If they taxied and took off, that was the real deal. One of our guys was in a security tower during a klaxon. He watched the bombers taxi out. Then he saw a bomber take off. He freaked out and froze. He couldn't bring himself to do the job he was trained to do. Turns out there was a tree between the tower and the runway which blocked the guy's view. What he saw was an unloaded bomber, which had entered the runway before the loaded ones, taking off. The loaded bombers returned to the parking apron like they always did in an exercise. But, the guy in the tower was relieved of duty.

ilya Kozlov Last I heard, no. But this script was backed by a real USAF general who was kinda campaigning for this sort of film to be made. See, he really did not like the idea of an entirely automated system and wanted to always keep human in the loop. This scene kinda argues against that, though it's a plot device to end up with entirely automated missile system.

We should all be thankful to Stanislav Petrov for being the guy who refused to turn the key.

Cool. I wish I could work with these guys so I can learn how to launch a nuclear Missle and I love entering to confirm this on computers. And I love timers.

This is the film you were waiting for.

And on the other side, the "Perimeter" received a signal from the satellites: "Launch detected", a couple of minutes later received confirmation from the radars, sent a signal "Missile attack" to the "Kazbek" terminals (black box). And if he did not receive confirmation or cancellation of the order, he initiated an automatic counter-launch of the entire missile arsenal. For all operations no more than 8-10 minutes. Final.

There was the EC-135-G which was an airborne missle launch control aircraft. It would remotely launch missles still sitting in their silos.

There are probably missiles already on the way, as the US would probably not initiate apre-emptive strike.

They have not gone key-less (they still have to turn keys at virtually the same time - and the keys are far enough apart that it takes 2 people: too much delay in turning the keys at once and the system locks itself up and requires maintenance to reset it). But the launch control equipment has completely changed and now they enter certain codes and do some of the other status and verification steps using a computer.

this is just a movie, (a great one at that), the US took many precausanary measures to prevent an accidental launch, no one command center can launch, even if the two guys turn their keys, there's 2 other guys at another missle command center who also have to turn their keys for the missles to launch. they need a second command from a completely different location to process so this scenario is impossible.

But if they're on their off hours I don't give a shit what they're doing so long as it's not jeapardizing the mission at that time.

Thank You, thus helped a lot

the ones guy had a feeling that something just was not right. usually there is a phone call to confirm that the initial launch command was given they did not receive a phone call.
