Synopsis

When a military computer error deploys a squadron of SAC bombers to destroy Moscow, the American President tries to call them back. But their sophisticated fail-safe system prevents him from aborting the attack, so he must convince the Soviets not to retaliate. In desperation, the President offers to sacrifice an American city if his pilots succeed in their deadly mission over Moscow.
