Rating: 3.5/5 --
It's a fabulous original film and a worthwhile redo -- but it comes about 20 years too late.

Dreyfuss se sai particularmente bem nesta mais do que eficiente versão do material que deu origem ao ótimo filme de Lumet. E o fato de ter sido encenado ao vivo é algo que contribui bastante para o tom de urgência exigido pela narrativa.

...it can't be denied by any means the caliber of talent that's spread throughout these 84 minutes.

Film Threat
Rating: 7/10 --
It's not quite as gripping or suspenseful as the earlier theatrical movie, but with a great cast, it's almost as good.

Product Description:
CBS took a bold move when they staged FAIL SAFE live on network TV in April 2000. The story follows a pilot (played by George Clooney) who is about to drop nuclear missiles on Russia. Unfortunately Clooney's character is unaware that the entire mission has been ordered by mistake, leaving the American president (played by Richard Dreyfus) faced with some tough decisions. The program was based on a novel by Harvey Wheeler and Eugene Burdick and is directed by the acclaimed Stephen Frears (THE QUEEN). FAIL SAFE was originally adapted for the big screen in 1964 by Sidney Lumet.
