The United States and Russia were locked in a nuclear standoff and no one wanted to consider the consequences of what the results would be if the unthinkable happened.
...The setting of the story was... more

Good job to Paramount for cleaning up this movie and for a great HD version as it was intended to be seen... more

| Starring: Mike Vogel, Jessica Lucas, Lizzy Caplan, T.J. Miller, Michael Stahl-David
Directed By: Matt Reeves
April 22, 2008
