Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, posted a review on Nov. 4 film directed by Kathryn Bigelow, “A House of Dynamite,” in which Kimball expressed hope that the film would change the U.S. public debate about the danger of nuclear war.
“The film is an instant classic. Bigelow and screenwriter Noah Oppenheim, aided by an A-list cast, deliver a riveting, immersive, emotionally powerful, and realistic inside look at the dangerous paradoxes and flaws of the system of nuclear deterrence as it might play out in one of the several potential crises that could erupt on any given day,” he writes.
Kimball hopes that the film “could help refocus attention on the grave risks posed by nuclear weapons and help motivate a larger segment of the public to demand concrete action to reduce the nuclear danger.
