00:06:14 - Sir, we are at launch! Turn your key!
00:06:19 Turn your key, sir!
00:08:06 They're cleared. Go ahead and open it up.
00:08:12 - Hello. I'm Pat Healy.
00:08:16 I'm Pat Healy, Dr McKittrick's assistant.
00:08:21 We had scheduled a meeting
00:08:23 If you have any questions,
00:08:26 I'd be happy to fill you in
00:09:22 They're here.
00:09:24 Good.
00:09:25 Let's go.
00:09:28 Cabot and Watson came alone.
00:09:32 I wish they'd brought a few senators.
00:09:36 John, please! Don't start that right away.
00:09:39 I had them on the phone
00:09:43 Well, are we positive that these men had
00:09:48 Lyle, for God's sakes! How many times
00:09:52 - It doesn't make any difference.
00:09:56 They all believed it was the real deal.
00:09:58 Look, we gotta be on a plane
00:10:01 I have to explain to the president
00:10:05 failed to launch their missiles. What
00:10:09 The president knows that I am fully
00:10:14 I've ordered a re-evaluation of
00:10:18 Wait a minute. Excuse me, General.
00:10:20 We can't ask these men
00:10:23 with a lot of headshrinker horseshit!
00:10:28 Those men know what it means to turn
00:10:32 Now, it's as simple as that!
00:10:38 I think we oughta take
00:10:41 - Mr McKittrick, you're out of line, sir.
00:10:45 Excuse me!
00:10:48 I'm sorry. I don't understand.
00:10:51 Gentlemen! We've had men in these silos
00:10:54 since before any of you
00:10:59 For myself, I sleep pretty well at night
00:11:04 General, we know they're fine men,
00:11:08 to have missiles
00:11:11 because those men refuse to turn
00:11:15 You mean when
00:11:17 The president will probably follow
00:11:22 I imagine the Joint Chiefs
00:11:24 - You're damn tootin'.
00:11:27 In a surprise attack, there's no time.
00:11:30 23 minutes from warning to impact.
00:11:32 - Six minutes if it's sub-launched.
00:11:35 That's barely enough time
00:11:39 Once he makes the decision,
00:11:42 Now, sir, I know that you've got
00:11:46 but if you could indulge me,
00:11:56 These computers give instant access
00:12:00 Troop movements, Soviet
00:12:03 It all flows into this room,
00:12:07 - WOPR? What is that?
00:12:10 This is Mr Richter.
00:12:12 Paul, would you like to tell
00:12:16 Well, the WOPR spends all its time
00:12:20 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,
00:12:28 using all available information
00:12:31 The WOPR has already fought
00:12:35 time and time again.
00:12:37 It estimates Soviet responses
00:12:40 to their responses, and so on.
00:12:43 Estimates damage. Counts the dead.
00:12:45 Then it looks for ways
00:12:48 The point is that the key decisions
00:12:50 of every option have already
00:12:53 So all this trillion-dollar hardware
00:12:57 of those men with the little brass keys?
00:13:00 That's exactly right. Whose only problem
00:13:03 But in 30 days we could put in electronic
00:13:08 Gentlemen...
00:13:11 I wouldn't trust this overgrown pile of
00:13:15 I don't know if you wanna trust the safety
00:13:21 Nobody is talking about entrusting
00:13:24 to a machine, for God's sake!
00:13:26 We'll keep control,
00:13:29 All right, gentlemen.
00:13:31 I think I'm going to recommend
00:13:35 And I'll get back to you on this.
00:13:39 You won't regret this.
00:14:02 OK. You had fries and a Coke, right?
00:14:22 Damn!
00:14:27 - Hi, David!
00:14:30 - How's it going?
00:14:35 - You wanna take this over? I gotta go.
00:14:38 - Go ahead.
00:14:43 - Bye, David!
00:14:54 All right. Question number two.
00:14:58 Seeds that are germinated in water
00:15:06 - Robert?
00:15:08 Ah! David!
00:15:10 Nice of you to join us.
00:15:25 Question number four.
00:15:28 novel and innovative concepts
00:15:32 from sudden left-field inspiration.
00:15:34 Miss Mack...
00:15:36 Could you tell us your answer
00:15:39 Why do nitrogen nodules
00:15:45 Love?
00:15:50 Jennifer, what do you know about
00:15:55 Some bit of salacious info
00:15:59 - No.
00:16:01 No, you didn't know
00:16:05 Because you don't pay attention in class.
00:16:12 - Thank you.
00:16:14 There seems to be a lot of confusion on
00:16:20 Could someone tell me, please
00:16:22 who first suggested the idea
00:16:35 - Miss Mack!
00:16:37 What is so amusing?
00:16:42 What?
00:16:44 All right, Lightman.
00:16:46 Maybe you can tell us who first suggested
00:16:52 Your wife?
00:16:58 Get out, Lightman! Get out!
00:17:08 Mr Ligget wants me to discuss
00:17:12 I think Mr Kessler's getting tired
00:17:15 Me, too.
00:17:46 Lightman. What a... surprise.
00:17:50 Won't you come in?
00:18:06 Hi!
00:18:08 Hi!
00:18:09 Sorry if I got you in trouble.
00:18:12 That's OK. You were perfect.
00:18:14 - I was?
00:18:16 - You want a ride home?
00:18:20 Hop on.
00:18:29 - So you got an F on that test today, too?
00:18:32 Guess we're both gonna be
00:18:35 - Not me.
00:18:39 - I don't think so.
00:18:43 - Why not? Come on! Tell me. Why not?
00:18:46 Why don't you come up to my house
00:18:49 What are you gonna show me?
00:18:51 I'm gonna show you.
00:18:55 - Hi, Bo!
00:18:58 Hey, Bo! How you doin'?
00:19:17 My room's upstairs.
00:19:19 - Your parents aren't home?
00:19:39 A little mess.
00:19:41 It's OK. You should see my room.
00:19:52 - You're really into computers, huh?
00:20:00 - What are you doing?
00:20:15 They change the password every couple
00:20:33 - Are those your grades?!
00:20:36 I don't think that I deserved an F, do you?
00:20:42 - You can't do that!
00:20:47 - Do you have a middle initial?
00:20:55 Those are my grades.
00:20:58 - How can anybody get a D in home ec?
00:21:02 - Can you erase this?
00:21:04 What are you doing?
00:21:06 - I'm changing your biology grade.
00:21:10 Nobody can find out. You got a C!
00:21:14 - Change it back.
00:21:16 - I said change it back.
00:21:27 I guess I'd better get going.
00:21:30 Thanks for the ride.
00:21:33 Yeah. OK. Bye.
00:21:35 Bye.
00:22:34 Get down. Get down. You've already
00:22:38 Sit! Stay!
00:22:40 - Don't forget to take out the garbage.
00:22:43 - Put that lid on real tight.
00:22:48 Yes, they will carry back on the second.
00:22:51 Sure. I think we can really work out
00:22:56 Oh, but you've gotta see it!
00:22:59 There's a Jacuzzi
00:23:12 Oh, sure. We can work that out.
00:23:15 That is true. You'll have a balloon
00:23:19 But that's nothing.
00:23:23 He who dances must pay the piper.
00:23:25 - See you, Dad.
00:23:32 You know, I worry about that kid.
00:23:34 Why?
00:23:37 Sometimes I think
00:23:44 This corn is raw!
00:23:46 I know. Isn't it wonderful? It's so crisp.
00:23:49 - Of course it's crisp! It's raw!
00:23:51 You can just taste the vitamin
00:23:55 Couldn't we have pills,
00:23:58 - What city, please?
00:24:01 The number for Protovision.
00:24:04 Yes. That's 555 8632.
00:24:07 Thank you. Could you also tell me
00:24:12 There's 399, 437, 767, 936.
00:24:17 Thanks.
00:24:33 Protovision... I have you now.
00:24:55 Yes?
00:25:04 Saul's Fish Market.
00:25:17 - Hi!
00:25:23 What?
00:25:24 I've been thinking.
00:25:27 - Can you still change it?
00:25:29 I can't believe I was so stupid.
00:25:33 - I don't know. It might be kinda rough.
00:25:36 They might have changed the password.
00:25:39 Maybe they didn't. Can't we at least try?
00:25:43 - Damn!
00:25:47 OK.
00:25:48 - You owe me a quarter.
00:25:59 - What's it doing?
00:26:06 - Don't touch the keys!
00:26:10 Excuse me.
00:26:12 This computer company's coming out
00:26:16 The programs are probably
00:26:19 So I told my system to search for other
00:26:27 They answer with a tone that other
00:26:31 You're calling every number
00:26:37 - Isn't that expensive?
00:26:40 You can go to jail for that.
00:26:42 Only if you're over 18.
00:26:46 Is this going to take a long time?
00:26:50 Oh. That's funny, actually.
00:26:53 Cos...
00:26:55 I already changed it.
00:26:58 - I told you not to do that.
00:27:00 But I figured you'd change your mind.
00:27:05 - Well, what did I get?
00:27:08 - You gave me a D?
00:27:11 - I was kidding.
00:27:13 Well, that's OK.
00:27:15 Here. Let's see what we have so far.
00:27:18 Excuse me.
00:27:20 Did you really give me an A?
00:27:22 Yeah.
00:27:25 - Thanks.
00:27:32 Hey! You got a bank!
00:27:34 Gotta make a note of that one.
00:27:43 Pan Am.
00:27:45 - Where shall we go?
00:27:47 - Anywhere.
00:27:49 - New York. OK.
00:27:57 Will you be travelling alone?
00:27:59 Yeah... No. You wanna go with me?
00:28:02 OK.
00:28:05 - All right. Smoking or nonsmoking?
00:28:10 All right, Miss Mack. You're
00:28:14 Ieaving Chicago's O'Hare Airport
00:28:19 Do we need a rental car? No.
00:28:22 - Do we really have tickets to Paris?
00:28:33 It doesn't identify itself.
00:28:35 Try anything.
00:28:43 "Connection terminated." How rude.
00:28:46 We'll ask it for help.
00:28:48 - Can you do that?
00:28:51 The more complicated they are,
00:29:01 Now what?
00:29:04 Help games.
00:29:11 "Games" refers to models,
00:29:14 which have strategic applications.
00:29:17 I don't know. That's gotta be them.
00:29:21 List games.
00:29:46 Oh, my God!
00:29:58 So these guys can tell you
00:30:01 They probably invented it
00:30:22 - Can you wait here?
00:30:24 - Cos these guys can get a little nervous.
00:30:36 Jim.
00:30:38 Oh. Lightman.
00:30:43 Hi, Lightman!
00:30:45 I want you to take a look at this.
00:30:53 - Hey! What's that?
00:30:58 Wow! Where'd you get this?
00:31:00 Protovision. I wanted to see
00:31:04 - Can I have this?
00:31:09 Remember you told me to tell you when
00:31:13 You're doing it right now.
00:31:21 "Theatrewide biotoxic
00:31:26 - This didn't come from Protovision.
00:31:30 - I told you already.
00:31:33 - Probably classified, too.
00:31:37 - Iike checkers and backgammon?
00:31:41 Jim, how do I get into that system?
00:31:44 That system probably contains
00:31:48 - You'll never get in.
00:31:52 - I bet you Jim could get in.
00:31:55 - I bet you he could.
00:31:58 - But you might look for a back door.
00:32:02 That girl's listening,
00:32:05 Mr Potato-head.
00:32:06 Mr Potato-head!
00:32:09 - You're giving away all our best tricks.
00:32:13 - What's a back door?
00:32:16 I put in a password
00:32:18 That way, whenever I wanna get back in,
00:32:21 I can bypass whatever security they've
00:32:27 Yeah?
00:32:28 OK. You really wanna get in, find out
00:32:32 Come on! I don't even
00:32:34 Boy, are you guys dumb! You guys are
00:32:39 Oh, yeah, Malvin? How would you do it?
00:32:42 The first game in the list.
00:34:47 Hi! I'm Jennifer.
00:34:49 - Is David here?
00:34:51 Yeah. He's up in his room.
00:34:55 Thanks.
00:34:56 Have you ever heard
00:34:59 Tumulus? No. I haven't. I'm sorry.
00:35:02 Neither have l.
00:35:05 Yeah?
00:35:08 Hi!
00:35:10 - Where have you been?
00:35:12 I haven't seen you all week in school.
00:35:17 No, no. I was...
00:35:19 I was doing things.
00:35:22 - No. I'm going to get some water, OK?
00:35:25 - What is all that stuff?
00:35:29 I was trying to find out about the guy
00:35:33 so I could get his secret password.
00:35:35 - Why?
00:35:38 What's so special about playing
00:35:41 Oh, no...
00:35:42 No, it's not just some machine.
00:35:45 Here. Look at this.
00:35:47 This is a tape that I got from the library.
00:35:50 It's about this guy named Falken.
00:35:53 He was into games as well as computers.
00:35:56 He designed them so that
00:36:00 - Chess.
00:36:02 - Everybody's doing that now.
00:36:06 He designed his computer
00:36:09 So they'd be better
00:36:12 The system actually learned how to learn.
00:36:16 It could teach itself.
00:36:18 If I could just get that damn password,
00:36:24 That's him. That's Falken.
00:36:28 That's him? Wow!
00:36:31 He's amazing-looking!
00:36:35 Can't you write to him
00:36:37 No. He's dead.
00:36:39 - He's dead?
00:36:41 Here. Look. Here's his obituary.
00:36:45 - He wasn't very old.
00:36:49 Oh, yeah? Oh, that's old.
00:36:53 That's his little boy.
00:36:56 Oh, yeah?
00:36:58 This is really sad. Did you know the child
00:37:03 - I know.
00:37:05 the tragic loss of his family,
00:37:16 My dad is 45.
00:37:21 - Once he was really sick...
00:37:25 - My father?
00:37:31 Joshua.
00:37:34 It can't be that simple.
00:37:44 - Wow!
00:37:47 We got something.
00:37:58 We're in!
00:38:00 It thinks I'm Falken!
00:38:04 Hello.
00:38:09 - How can it ask you that?
00:38:13 - Do you wanna hear it talk?
00:38:16 I'll ask it how it feels.
00:38:19 I'm fine. How are... you?
00:38:25 Excellent. It's been a long time.
00:38:28 Can you explain the removal of
00:38:35 They must have told it he died.
00:38:39 People sometimes make... mistakes.
00:38:44 - Yes, they do.
00:38:47 It's not a real voice. This box interprets
00:38:52 Shall we play a game?
00:38:55 Oh!
00:38:57 - I think it missed him.
00:39:00 Love to!
00:39:02 How about Global Thermonuclear War?
00:39:09 Wouldn't you prefer
00:39:13 Later.
00:39:14 Let's play
00:39:16 Global Thermonuclear War.
00:39:19 Fine.
00:39:21 All right!
00:39:24 Wow!
00:39:28 Which side do you want?
00:39:33 I'll be the Russians.
00:39:39 Please listprimary targets.
00:39:41 - Who shall we nuke first?
00:39:45 How about... Las Vegas?
00:39:47 Las Vegas! Great!
00:39:52 - What next? Seattle!
00:39:55 Kill 'em!
00:40:07 I have seven, correction, eight Red birds
00:40:13 Better get the old man down here.
00:40:15 We have Soviet missile warning.
00:40:17 Check formalfunction
00:40:20 Projected target areas
00:40:38 This is Crystal Palace initiating
00:40:44 19 degrees past apogee.
00:40:46 Possible 18 targets in track.
00:40:59 - What you got up here, Joe?
00:41:02 Eight inbound Soviet ICBMs
00:41:05 Estimated impact: 1 1 minutes.
00:41:09 - Why didn't we get a launch detection?
00:41:13 BMEWS has continuous radar tracking
00:41:17 Confidence is high.
00:41:26 - What is all that stuff?
00:41:29 - for multiple-impact re-entry vehicles.
00:41:32 I don't know. But it's great!
00:41:34 - Are those bombs? Which is the bombs?
00:41:37 - Blow 'em up.
00:41:39 - What's a trajectory heading?
00:41:46 The president's diverting to Andrews.
00:41:50 - The chairman of the Joint Chiefs is on...
00:41:56 Take us to DEFCON 3.
00:41:58 Get onto SAC.
00:42:00 Yes, sir.
00:42:03 SAC, this is Crystal Palace.
00:42:08 Scramble all alert aircraft.
00:42:12 Inbounds presently MIRVing.
00:42:15 We now have approximately
00:42:19 - New time to impact: eight minutes.
00:42:22 - General Powers is on the line.
00:42:26 Goddamn it! We didn't get
00:42:30 Radar picked 'em up already out of the
00:42:36 Get the ICBMs in the bullpen
00:42:40 - Get me the president on the horn.
00:42:49 Mr President? This is Beringer at NORAD.
00:42:53 Oh, attack!
00:42:55 - I wonder if I should use my subs.
00:42:58 David!
00:43:02 Excuse me.
00:43:04 David!
00:43:06 How many times have I told you
00:43:10 - Look at this mess!
00:43:12 Now! Come down now!
00:43:15 Come down here and do what
00:43:20 We're gonna barbecue tonight.
00:43:22 - You wanna invite your little friend?
00:43:25 David!
00:43:28 Shit!
00:43:36 Little friend.
00:43:45 Mr President, something's happening.
00:43:51 - What's happening, Joe?
00:43:55 negative confirmation
00:43:59 Get onto SAC. Tell 'em to hold steady.
00:44:03 Stop! It's a simulation!
00:44:07 What the hell's he yelling about?
00:44:10 We're not being attacked!
00:44:13 Whoa, now! Hold it!
00:44:14 You're not supposed to be runnin' here.
00:44:17 We don't know how it happened.
00:44:19 Someone outside fed an attack simulation
00:44:23 Conley...
00:44:24 Take us off full alert.
00:44:26 Hold at DEFCON 4 till we find out exactly
00:44:31 I didn't tell you to cut the line!
00:44:35 They shut down
00:44:38 We did locate the area
00:44:41 - Where?
00:44:43 Shut it down!
00:44:45 Somebody's playing a game with us.
00:44:47 At a prophylactic recycling centre...
00:44:50 Hi, Dad!
00:44:52 David!
00:44:54 - David, come in here!
00:44:56 Plenty, mister. Plenty.
00:45:00 You have just passed
00:45:03 Congratulations, dear!
00:45:05 Show this to your dad.
00:45:07 Honey! David has something to show you.
00:45:11 - What's that?
00:45:13 Uh-oh.
00:45:17 This is good!
00:45:19 I'm so proud of you!
00:45:21 ..went on a full-scale nuclearalert,
00:45:23 believing the Soviet Union
00:45:26 A spokesman places blame
00:45:30 emphasising that the problem
00:45:33 For more on the story,
00:45:39 Well, that's your phone.
00:45:41 Yeah.
00:45:43 Seriously, David. Congratulations.
00:45:53 - Hello?
00:45:55 Are you watching the news?
00:45:57 Jennifer. Yeah, I'm watching.
00:45:59 David, is that us on TV? Did we do that?
00:46:02 It could be. Oh, Jesus, Jennifer!
00:46:04 What am I gonna do? They're gonna
00:46:08 I'm screwed!
00:46:10 No! Sh! Calm down!
00:46:14 If they were so smart,
00:46:17 Yeah.
00:46:18 OK. So all you have to do is throw
00:46:23 - That's all.
00:46:24 - Maybe they didn't trace the call.
00:46:29 I'm sure they didn't trace the call.
00:46:33 We'll both act normal
00:46:36 OK?
00:46:37 - OK.
00:46:40 God! This is so unbelievable!
00:46:44 No, Jennifer! Don't call her!
00:46:46 Sorry. All right. I won't.
00:46:50 OK. Good night, Jennifer.
00:47:21 Greetings, ProfessorFalken.
00:47:25 Oh, my God.
00:47:34 Incorrect identification.
00:47:38 I am not Falken.
00:47:40 Falken is dead.
00:47:45 Sorry to hear that, Professor.
00:47:47 Yesterday's game was interrupted.
00:47:50 Although primary goal has not yet
00:47:56 Game time elapsed:
00:48:01 Estimated time remaining:
00:48:08 What is the primary goal?
00:48:13 You should know, Professor.
00:48:17 Oh, come on.
00:48:19 What is the primary goal?
00:48:25 To win the game.
00:49:53 David Lightman, hold it right there. FBl.
00:49:55 - I'll read you your rights.
00:49:57 You have the absolute right
00:50:00 What did I do?
00:50:02 You have the right
00:50:05 and to have one present
00:50:07 If you cannot afford an attorney,
00:50:11 - Do you understand these rights?
00:50:13 Are you willing to talk to me
00:50:17 All right. Let's move.
00:50:31 This rather large room
00:50:34 No picture taking. The screens in front
00:50:38 and missile tracking stations
00:50:41 This is the commander's desk.
00:50:45 Would you mind relinquishing
00:50:47 Miss Dailey, would you come
00:50:51 These buttons are connected
00:50:55 and missile launching stations.
00:50:57 Miss Dailey, would you press
00:51:00 - The one in the middle?
00:51:02 Oh, my God! It's the wrong one!
00:51:05 It's a joke! You didn't blow up anything.
00:51:08 "Distinguished visitors
00:51:40 Last week I had the governor
00:51:43 He said, "Colonel Thomas, why are we
00:51:47 Why are we at DEFCON 4?
00:51:49 The Soviets saw our bombers scramble
00:51:52 We told them it was just an exercise, but
00:51:57 Wait. Wait.
00:51:58 - Give me that.
00:52:00 Just what we need today. Why don't they
00:52:05 - Well, I think they're going to tomorrow.
00:52:12 It was a one-in-a-million shot.
00:52:14 There was an open line
00:52:16 The phone company screwed up!
00:52:19 - John. John McKittrick, George Wigan.
00:52:22 George is with the FBl.
00:52:24 It looks like we've got
00:52:27 Paul, what happened?
00:52:29 The kid broke into the war game using a
00:52:34 - A password?
00:52:36 None of my team even knew it was there.
00:52:38 Kid claims
00:52:40 That's great!
00:52:44 We can find the password and take it out,
00:52:48 Oh. Beef up, huh?
00:52:51 How about screwed up?
00:52:53 We did all that and he broke in again.
00:52:55 Kid says your computer called him.
00:52:58 What the hell is going on, John?
00:53:01 I woke up the president. I told him
00:53:05 You know what an idiot that makes me
00:53:09 I think we're being a little naive here.
00:53:11 There is no way a high-school punk
00:53:13 can put a dime in a telephone
00:53:16 He's got to be working
00:53:18 He fits the profile perfectly.
00:53:22 Alienated from his parents.
00:53:25 Classic case
00:53:28 What does this say
00:53:30 I mean, have you gotten any insight
00:53:35 would jeopardise the lives of millions?
00:53:37 He says
00:53:39 Dammit, John, I want some answers,
00:53:46 - Let me talk to this little prick.
00:53:51 Come on, Paul.
00:53:57 Who do they belong to? Do you know?
00:53:59 What?
00:54:00 Good morning, sir.
00:54:01 - Where's the Lightman kid?
00:54:13 Hello, David. John McKittrick.
00:54:17 Sergeant, these aren't necessary,
00:54:20 No, sir.
00:54:22 Well, David, we called your parents.
00:54:26 We told them everything's fine.
00:54:28 No charges have been filed... yet.
00:54:31 But I think we are gonna need
00:54:36 How much time?
00:54:37 Well, that depends on
00:54:41 Oh, of course.
00:54:44 Sergeant, would you tell the OD
00:54:48 Let's go down to my office.
00:54:52 Go ahead.
00:54:58 You used to work with Stephen Falken?
00:55:00 I started as his assistant.
00:55:03 I read an article you wrote with him
00:55:06 Bluffing. Yeah,
00:00:06 He never understood the practical uses
00:00:10 This machine over here
00:00:13 Joshua.
00:00:16 Come here a minute, David.
00:00:20 See that sign up here? Up here?
00:00:22 - Yeah.
00:00:24 That indicates
00:00:27 It should read DEFCON 5,
00:00:30 It's still on 4 because of
00:00:34 Actually, if we hadn't caught it in time,
00:00:38 - You know what that means, David?
00:00:41 World War Ill.
00:00:44 Wow.
00:00:45 You broke into our system
00:00:48 That's right. That's exactly right.
00:00:55 After the news, you must have
00:00:58 - Why'd you do it again?
00:01:00 - I even threw the number away.
00:01:03 Joshua called me.
00:01:05 Hey!
00:01:06 Look at that! That's some setup.
00:01:09 - What did you say?
00:01:12 No, no. Before that.
00:01:14 Joshua called me.
00:01:17 David, machines don't call people.
00:01:21 Yours did.
00:01:26 Who are you going to Paris with?
00:01:30 Paris? Oh!
00:01:31 No... You don't understand.
00:01:33 You had reservations for two to Paris.
00:01:39 - Who are you working with?
00:01:43 Why don't I believe you?
00:01:48 I don't think I should say anything else
00:01:53 I think we'd better forget
00:01:56 until I get a few answers
00:02:16 Are you gonna answer the phone?
00:02:22 Hello.
00:02:23 Yeah.
00:02:25 What?
00:02:26 All right. I'll be right down.
00:02:29 You stay here. Don't move.
00:02:43 What's going on?
00:02:44 There's been a serious penetration
00:02:48 - What the hell's he sayin'?
00:02:50 I'll give it to you. Somebody got
00:02:53 and stole the codes
00:02:56 There's no cause for alarm.
00:03:00 unless we're at DEFCON 1 .
00:03:04 Well, who did this?
00:03:05 I think the kid's working
00:03:08 I don't know what they're up to, but
00:03:13 Take us to DEFCON 3
00:03:16 - Where are you?
00:03:18 Get me an update on those subs. I wanna
00:03:49 Joshua.
00:03:52 Greetings, ProfessorFalken.
00:03:57 Hello.
00:03:58 Are you still playing the game?
00:04:03 Of course. I should reach DEFCON 1
00:04:06 and launch my missiles in 28 hours.
00:04:09 Would you like to see
00:04:14 69% of the housing destroyed.
00:04:17 72 million people dead?
00:04:23 Is this a game
00:04:26 or is it real?
00:04:28 What's the difference?
00:04:30 Oh, wow.
00:04:33 You are a hard man to reach.
00:04:36 Could not fiind you in Seattle
00:04:38 and no terminal is in operation
00:04:48 What classified address?
00:04:53 DOD pension fiiles
00:04:59 Dr Robert Hume.
00:05:02 AKA Stephen WFalken.
00:05:06 5 Tall CedarRoad,
00:05:11 Can I just talk to Mr McKittrick?
00:05:15 I'm escorting you to Denver
00:05:19 - pending indictment for espionage.
00:05:22 Let me talk to him!
00:05:25 - Get that bastard out of the war room!
00:05:28 He's still playing the game!
00:05:32 Hold him where you had him before.
00:05:35 Call Falken. He'll tell you. Please,
00:05:39 What the hell's he doing in here anyway?
00:05:57 Some of the men told me
00:07:08 Patient's eyes are dilated, consistent
00:07:42 Depending on what information you want,
00:07:46 Let's say I wanted to find out
00:07:49 I don't think I have the right program.
00:07:51 Excuse me. What do you want?
00:07:54 Bathroom. It's a long ride to Denver.
00:07:56 Excuse me.
00:08:04 Please! Let me talk to Mr McKittrick.
00:08:06 You can't talk to anybody.
00:08:09 - Do you have to take a leak or not?
00:08:38 - I'm working here.
00:08:40 Stop it!
00:08:42 - You have pretty eyes.
00:08:49 I'll get the elevator.
00:08:51 - Sign in here?
00:09:15 I heard they voted you
00:09:19 Will you stop it?!
00:09:21 - Am I bothering you?
00:09:23 - Do you want me to leave?
00:10:35 I want this door open right now.
00:10:37 - How about getting on the phone?
00:11:13 Hey, Scooter! Wait up.
00:11:17 Come on, hurry it up. I'm late.
00:11:19 OK. I'll be right with you.
00:11:22 - I think it's jammed from inside.
00:11:25 David! Come on, David.
00:11:31 OK.
00:11:34 Let's go.
00:11:43 Right this way, folks. I've been informed
00:11:46 that they're cleaning the floors
00:11:49 Don't want anyone to slip and hurt
00:11:53 If I can ask you to board the bus
00:11:57 you'll have a complimentary beverage
00:12:01 Hold it! What are you doing?
00:12:03 Got it. Here it comes.
00:12:06 - You kids think you own this place?
00:12:12 You're not supposed to leave the group.
00:12:15 OK. Excuse me.
00:12:19 Out of the way.
00:12:22 Thank you. Careful there.
00:12:25 Take care. Watch your step.
00:12:27 - Bye.
00:12:29 Watch your step.
00:12:30 - Check everywhere. He can't be far.
00:13:26 - Thanks.
00:13:29 Bye.

00:15:36 Thank you.
00:15:53 Yeah?
00:15:54 Jennifer? It's me. David.
00:15:56 - David?
00:15:58 Listen, I'm in Colorado
00:16:00 and I need a really big favour.
00:16:03 - Can you lend me some money?
00:16:05 I need an airline ticket.
00:16:08 I need a ticket from Grand Junction,
00:16:11 - Why? What's going on?
00:16:14 David, what are you doing in Colorado?
00:16:16 I went by yourhouse.
00:16:19 There are men around from the FBI
00:16:23 I can't talk about it right now.
00:16:25 When you buy the ticket, tell them that
00:16:30 David, what's happening?
00:16:32 I can't talk. I've gotta get off the phone.
00:16:41 Punch up number five.
00:16:45 22 Typhoon-class submarines
00:16:48 turning southbound at Nordkapp,
00:16:52 Sergeant, I hope you like vodka.
00:16:54 Yes, sir. I just hope they don't make me
00:17:03 Give me an update...
00:17:05 Sir, the Soviets deny any increase
00:17:09 They wanna know
00:17:11 They're full of shit.
00:17:14 I'm gonna blow their ass out of the water.
00:17:56 Surprise!
00:17:59 - What are you doing here?
00:18:03 - You shouldn't have come. I'm in trouble.
00:18:07 Is this because of
00:18:16 You kids better hustle.
00:18:19 Thanks. Come on. We gotta run.
00:18:26 - Wait, wait, wait, wait! Whoa!
00:18:37 If he's still alive,
00:18:41 No, he's not dead. He left.
00:18:43 When they know too much,
00:18:46 - Anyway, the computer said so.
00:18:49 The computer that's still playing
00:18:54 - Why wouldn't they know about it?
00:18:57 Falken knows about Joshua. He's
00:19:01 That computer is trying to win the game
00:19:05 For real!
00:19:07 You don't even believe me!
00:19:14 David... David.
00:19:18 - He's not dead.
00:19:23 I believe you.
00:20:11 Oh!
00:20:12 What was that?
00:20:14 I don't know.
00:20:20 Did you see that? There are still people
00:20:25 The sky was once filled with them.
00:20:27 - I'm looking for Dr Robert Hume.
00:20:31 No. We're high-school students.
00:20:33 Oh... Pity.
00:20:35 Well, high-school students,
00:20:38 you're on my land and I didn't invite you.
00:20:40 But
00:20:41 aren't you Stephen Falken?
00:20:45 Now, listen carefully.
00:20:47 Path. Follow path.
00:20:50 Gate. Open gate, through gate, close gate.
00:20:53 Last ferry 6.30, so run, run, run.
00:20:56 Wait! Wait.
00:20:58 I came because of Joshua.
00:21:40 Radar reports two unknown tracks are
00:21:46 Confidence is high. Flight profile
00:21:50 I want a visual confirmation on that.
00:21:56 Go to DEFCON 2.
00:22:29 Crystal Palace, this is Delta Foxtrot 27.
00:22:34 Repeat, negative Soviet aircraft.
00:22:36 27, this is Brass Hat.
00:22:39 You're almost on top of 'em.
00:22:41 Brass Hat, we got nothing on radar
00:22:44 and 40 miles visibility.
00:22:46 There's nothin' out there, General.
00:22:50 What the hell?!
00:23:01 - You haven't been listening.
00:23:05 I loved it when you nuked Las Vegas.
00:23:07 A suitably biblical ending for the place,
00:23:11 Are you gonna tell them
00:23:15 Now, children, come on over here.
00:23:19 Are you sitting comfortably?
00:23:22 Then I'll begin.
00:23:24 Once upon a time, there lived
00:23:30 who dominated the world
00:23:33 They ran and they swam
00:23:35 and they fought and they flew.
00:23:37 Until suddenly,
00:23:42 Nature just gave up and started again.
00:23:46 We weren't even apes then.
00:23:48 We were just these smart little rodents
00:23:52 And when we go, nature will start again.
00:23:56 With the bees probably.
00:23:59 Nature knows when to give up, David.
00:24:02 I'm not giving up.
00:24:04 If Joshua tricks them
00:24:08 My fault? The whole point was
00:24:12 without destroying ourselves.
00:24:15 To get the computers to learn from
00:24:18 Except I never could get Joshua
00:24:22 What's that?
00:24:24 Futility. That there's a time
00:24:28 What kind of a lesson is that?
00:24:30 Did you ever play tic-tac-toe?
00:24:33 Yeah. Of course.
00:24:35 - But you don't any more?
00:24:37 Why?
00:24:39 Because it's a boring game.
00:24:42 Exactly. There's no way to win.
00:24:44 The game itself is pointless.
00:24:47 But back at the war room,
00:24:52 That there can be acceptable losses.
00:24:56 So you gave up? Decided to play dead?
00:25:00 For security reasons,
00:25:05 Did you know that no land animal
00:25:07 with a body weight of over 50lb
00:25:12 Extinction is part of the natural order.
00:25:15 Bullshit!
00:25:18 If we're extinguished, it's not natural.
00:25:21 Oh, it's all right. I've planned ahead.
00:25:24 We're just three miles
00:25:27 A millisecond of brilliant light
00:25:30 and we're vaporised.
00:25:32 Much more fortunate than the millions
00:25:36 through the smouldering aftermath.
00:25:39 We'll be spared the horror of survival.
00:25:42 I'm only 17 years old.
00:25:46 I'm not ready to die yet.
00:25:48 You won't make a simple phone call?
00:25:52 If the real Joshua was still alive,
00:25:55 - you'd do it, wouldn't you?
00:25:59 Perhaps time enough for you
00:26:03 But humanity
00:26:07 That a phone call won't stop.
00:26:10 This is unreal! You don't care about death
00:26:16 I know a lot about you.
00:26:19 What was the last thing you cared about?
00:26:26 You've missed the last ferry.
00:26:35 You're welcome to stay.
00:26:43 Good night.
00:26:47 Let's get outta here.
00:26:58 Come on. We'll find a boat.
00:27:18 Mr President, we've got 48 nuclear subs
00:27:22 And we've got 100,000 Soviet troops
00:27:26 We're monitoring their bombers
00:27:29 Well, that's a load of shit!
00:27:31 No, sir. Not you.
00:27:33 Yes, sir. We'll be in touch
00:27:37 Intelligence reports rumours of a new
00:27:41 It can project a false radar image
00:27:45 Christ! Now they got us chasing shadows.
00:27:59 I think I saw one.
00:28:05 What kind of an asshole lives on an island
00:28:10 Maybe we can swim for it.
00:28:13 No. It's two or three miles.
00:28:15 At least. Maybe more.
00:28:17 - Well, what do you say? Let's go for it.
00:28:20 - Come on.
00:28:22 I can't swim.
00:28:24 You can't swim?
00:28:26 No. OK, Wonder Woman? I can't swim.
00:28:28 What kind of an asshole grows up
00:28:32 I never got around to it, OK?
00:28:34 I always thought
00:28:37 I'm sorry.
00:28:43 I wish I didn't know about any of this.
00:28:47 I wish I was like
00:28:51 Then tomorrow it would just be over.
00:28:56 There wouldn't be any time to be sorry.
00:28:59 About anything.
00:29:08 Oh, Jesus!
00:29:11 I really wanted to learn how to swim.
00:29:14 I swear to God I did.
00:29:25 Did I tell you that next week
00:29:28 I was gonna be on TV?
00:29:30 You're kidding?
00:29:32 On that aerobics show
00:29:36 A movie star.
00:29:38 Yeah!
00:29:40 It's kinda stupid, huh? I mean, nobody
00:29:44 I would have.
00:30:04 Oh, Jesus!
00:30:06 The bastard turned us in!
00:31:06 It's all right. Get in.
00:31:34 We have a launch detection.
00:31:38 BMEWS has confiirmed a massive attack.
00:31:40 - Missile warning. No malfunction.
00:31:43 - Cobra Dane, is this an exercise?
00:31:46 General, DPS is tracking
00:31:56 - Tell me this is one of your simulations.
00:31:59 All right. Flush the bombers.
00:32:04 We are at DEFCON 1 .
00:32:06 DEFCON 1.
00:32:10 Major Lem, get me a report on the WOPR.
00:32:16 Initial attack profile
00:32:19 WOPR is putting our losses
00:32:23 What does WOPR recommend,
00:32:26 Full-scale retaliatory strike.
00:32:30 I need some machine to tell me that?
00:32:32 President's on his way
00:32:35 We have to give launch option.
00:32:37 - Has he spoken to the premier?
00:32:41 We have a Soviet submarine
00:32:44 Let's go into a launch mode.
00:32:54 This is Crystal Palace.
00:32:57 After the gates are closed,
00:33:06 Initiate internal power.
00:33:09 Generators on and functioning.
00:33:20 External power disconnected.
00:33:25 Seal off ventilation shafts.
00:33:27 Shaft locks sealed.
00:33:34 The gate's closed!
00:33:43 Is everybody OK?
00:33:45 - Are you all right?
00:33:51 The gate's gonna shut! Come on!
00:33:53 Come on!
00:34:07 Hold the door! Hold the door!
00:34:12 Hold the goddamn door!
00:34:19 Come on! Hurry!
00:34:24 They're clear! They're clear!
00:34:44 All units confirm weapons targeted
00:34:48 We are in a launch mode.
00:34:50 Major Lem, lock out changes.
00:34:52 Roger. Lock out enabled.
00:35:04 All right. I'll call you back.
00:35:06 Here!
00:35:14 I don't know what you think
00:35:18 John! Good to see you!
00:35:21 - What has this kid been telling you?
00:35:25 The president's ready for a counterstrike.
00:35:32 - It's a bluff, John. Call it off.
00:35:35 Hello, General Beringer? Stephen Falken.
00:35:38 Mr Falken, you picked
00:35:41 General, what you see
00:35:46 A computer-enhanced hallucination.
00:35:49 Those blips are not real missiles.
00:35:52 There's nothing to indicate a simulation.
00:35:56 - Does it make any sense?
00:35:59 That!
00:36:00 Look, I don't have time
00:36:03 General, are you prepared
00:36:07 You betcha!
00:36:08 - Do you think they know that?
00:36:12 Then... don't.
00:36:14 Tell the president to ride out the attack.
00:36:17 Sir, they need a decision.
00:36:20 General, do you really believe
00:36:23 without provocation,
00:36:27 so that we would have no choice
00:36:30 One minute and 30 seconds to impact.
00:36:32 General, you are listening to a machine.
00:36:36 Do the world a favour
00:36:43 One minute and 20 seconds to impact.
00:36:57 Yes, Mr President.
00:36:58 Sir, at this point in time, we cannot
00:37:02 We have reason to believe
00:37:05 Yes, sir. That's affirmative.
00:37:09 Yes, sir.
00:37:10 I do, too.
00:37:11 One minute to impact.
00:37:14 Who's first and how soon?
00:37:16 Initial impact
00:37:19 319th at Grand Forks,
00:37:22 50 seconds to impact.
00:37:24 Get me the senior controllers.
00:37:28 All stations, this is Crystal Palace.
00:37:30 Stand by for a message from Brass Hat.
00:37:33 ElmendorfAirForce Base Operations.
00:37:36 319th Bomb Wing Operations.
00:37:39 Colonel, this is Loring AirForce Base.
00:37:45 That's all right. Who are you?
00:37:47 Sir, this is Airman Dougherty, sir.
00:37:50 This is General Beringer at NORAD.
00:37:53 Our current situation...
00:37:56 Men, we're currently tracking
00:37:59 approximately 2,400 inbound
00:38:02 But at the moment
00:38:05 I repeat, we cannot confirm this.
00:38:07 30 seconds to impact.
00:38:10 We're right there with you guys.
00:38:14 Stand by to launch missiles
00:38:24 Stay on this channel as long as you can.
00:38:27 We'll be standing by.
00:38:29 20 seconds to impact.
00:38:40 Ten... nine...
00:38:43 eight... seven...
00:38:46 six...
00:38:47 five...
00:38:49 four...
00:38:50 three...
00:38:52 two...
00:38:53 one... Impact.
00:39:11 This is Crystal Palace. Are you still on?
00:39:15 This is Crystal Palace.
00:39:20 That's affiirmative, sir.
00:39:24 Yeah! We're here!
00:39:25 - Jesus H Christ! We're still here!
00:39:30 No, sir. No impact. We're alive and well.
00:39:34 All right!
00:39:35 All right!
00:39:42 All right!
00:39:50 All right! Recall the bombers!
00:39:52 Stand down the missiles!
00:40:25 Joshua, what are you doing?
00:40:30 COC, I need Dr McKittrick right away.
00:40:33 - This is McKittrick.
00:40:36 WOPR's not letting me log back on.
00:40:38 - I can't get in to stand down the missiles.
00:40:54 Paul, this is McKittrick.
00:40:55 The WOPR's not letting us back in.
00:40:58 I know. No one can get back on.
00:41:01 It's like the entire password file
00:41:04 I tried that! Don't you think
00:41:10 What are those?
00:41:12 Those are launch codes.
00:41:14 What are they for?
00:41:16 Joshua's trying to find the right codes
00:41:31 What's happening?
00:41:32 The random number generators
00:41:34 - Got anything?
00:41:36 I got no idea.
00:41:41 Sir, you better get on the headset.
00:41:45 Yeah?
00:41:46 General, the machine has locked us out.
00:41:51 Codes. To launch the missiles.
00:41:53 Just unplug the goddamn thing!
00:41:55 - Jesus Christ!
00:41:58 It would interpret a shutdown
00:42:02 The computers in the silos would carry
00:42:06 - Can't we disarm the missiles?
00:42:10 There's no time. At this rate
00:42:16 Mr McKittrick?
00:42:20 I have come to the conclusion
00:42:25 I don't have to take that,
00:42:28 I was hoping for something a little better
00:42:32 General, it's the president.
00:42:39 What do you...
00:42:43 That I'm ordering our bombers
00:42:46 We might have to go through
00:42:52 Yes, sir.
00:43:00 He's got one. When he gets all ten,
00:43:03 - Well, can't they get in and stop it?
00:43:09 They've taken out my password.
00:43:12 - Well, what are we gonna do?
00:43:15 I told you not to start
00:43:22 It's games.
00:43:25 - Games!
00:43:27 - John, feed it a tapeworm.
00:43:31 - Did the kid get in the back door?
00:43:33 - Invade the deep logic.
00:43:36 If it wants to play a game, then play it.
00:43:39 - For Christ's sake!
00:43:42 - He can hardly do worse.
00:43:44 I'd piss on a spark plug
00:43:47 - Let the boy in there, Major.
00:43:55 Chess.
00:44:04 Three numbers locked in.
00:44:06 Poker.
00:44:09 Security system's
00:44:15 Global thermonuclear war.
00:44:25 Four numbers.
00:44:29 Stephen, for Christ's sake. Do something.
00:44:32 - Come on, kid. Let's go.
00:44:37 - Put the list back up.
00:44:39 - Put it up!
00:44:49 - It's not on the list!
00:44:51 Go ahead. It's got to be somewhere.
00:44:56 Tic-tac-toe.
00:45:05 You're in. Order it to disarm the missiles.
00:45:08 No! No.
00:45:18 Five numbers. It's got half the code.
00:45:22 One.
00:45:25 - Put X in the centre square.
00:45:38 - Six up.
00:45:40 I know that. It doesn't. It hasn't learned.
00:45:43 - Is there any way to make it play itself?
00:46:08 Seven!
00:46:09 Come on. Learn, goddamn it.
00:46:24 Eight.
00:46:25 It must be caught in a loop. It's taking
00:46:31 Nine numbers.
00:46:36 Ten! It's got the code. It's going to launch.
00:46:57 Colonel Conley, call SAC.
00:47:02 Major Davis, get me the president.
00:47:36 How you doin', Colonel?
00:47:37 Land lines out of the mountain are dead.
00:48:05 - What's it doing?
00:48:53 Greetings, ProfessorFalken.
00:49:04 Hello, Joshua.
00:49:08 Strange game.
00:49:09 The only winning move is not to play.
00:49:20 How about a nice game ofchess?
00:49:58 Colonel Conley, take us to DEFCON 5.
00:50:02 Yes, sir.
