This 1984 docu-drama uses fictional reports of a crisis in the Middle East, which leads to a nuclear confrontation between the US and the USSR.
"Looking Glass" is the code word for the Strategic Air Command's control plane which is to be used in the case of nuclear war.
Many similarities between the story and today's geo-political situation.
