“Turn your launch key, sir! Sir!? Turn your key, sir!” a tense exchange from some nuclear war movie with a long-forgotten title. Spoken with a .45 auto out and pointed at the hesitant missile silo operator.

The opening sequence of War Games, maybe?

That’s a Mexican standoff, you shoot him with your 45, and now you can’t turn both keys, that threat doesn’t mean much.

Was it 1977 Twilight’s Last Gleaming ?

War games. It was the intro to the movie.

Definitely the opening to War Games.

The human refusal to carry out a launch order was why they installed W.O.P.R.

[skepsel]

Read an article years ago that missile crews immediately figured out how to do a one man launch; duct tape, string, a pen, pencil, fork, spoon, etc.

The brass were said to be unhappy the hack was made public, lol.

[BiteYourSelf]

I believe that was “Wargames”.
