Missile

Synopsis

Documentary legend Frederick Wiseman tackles nuclear proliferation in a sidelong yet deeply powerful way in this chronicle of the 4315th Training Squadron of the Strategic Air Command who train the personnel that staff America’s missile launching sites. While the abstract horror of nuclear war is studiously avoided, the workmanlike pragmatism of the mundane instruction is imbued with its own kind of dread. Newly restored.
