In 2008, 60 Minutes reported on the unsolved break-in at a heavily guarded nuclear plant containing weapons-grade uranium in South Africa. As Scott Pelley noted at the time "the assault on Pelindaba would make a hell of a movie. But it's a thriller that is all too real, with consequences that might have threatened the world."

"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.
