It occurred to me that there wasn't a missile at all, that it was a phantom VR missile created by malevolent hackers who were targeting multiple nations at once because other unnamed nations were scrambling their resources the same way the US was scrambling ours.
The ending is very ambiguous. I wasn't sure if Chicago had been nuked or not.
“The ending is very ambiguous. I wasn’t sure if Chicago had been nuked”.
There are at least five explosions as the credits are running. Not sure what that was supposed to mean. When the movie ended there was about one minute before the missile was supposed to strike Chicago. The first explosion was about one minute into the credits.
I believe the one enemy strike was designed for exactly what happened, which was the US going “well done”.
