WarGames (7/11) Movie CLIP - DEFCON 1 (1983) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
A launch detection shows a full scale Soviet Strike and General Beringer (Barry Corbin) orders the move to DEFCON 1.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Once more, a wise-guy teenager tries to prove he's smarter than any adult-and nearly destroys the whole world in the process-in Wargames. Computer-game aficionado Matthew Broderick inadverently taps into a hush-hush Pentagon computer, then proceeds to inaugurate his favorite game, "Global Thermonuclear War". What we know, but Broderick doesn't, is that the Pentagon, hoping to eliminate the chancy "human element" in the event of an actual war, has given its computer total, irreversable control over the launching of nuclear weaponry. Broderick and government official Dabney Coleman race against time to reverse the computer's resolve to send bombers to Russia. Wargames scored a hit, especially with teenage filmgoers.

HIT US UP:

[Contemplativeman]

I'll give this to the 4 star general, he has balls to be able to laugh at this situation. It's like whatever training he got when he signed up was more effective than the training the silo commanders had

[matth]

"Get me a report on the Whopper."
"Dammit sir...they put mayo on it..."

[lizscottamero]

"Soviets denying everything, sir" is accurate.

[JediPhoenix]

Fun fact: the jeep wasn't supposed to roll over, they were supposed to drive straight to the main entrance. Director John Badham kept it in and filmed the shot of David and the others running the rest of the way.

[mccabber]

"According to NORAD we've got Soviet aircraft coming at us from all directions and ground troops pushing up through Mexico. I don't know how they snuck in on us."

[rowlandbuck]

"After careful consideration it is my opinion that your new security system sucks."

[CommentorX]

Disconnect external power ... seal off ventilation shafts ... flush all toilets ... close all Burger King refreshment stands ... turn off all video poker machines ...

[stevespencer]

One of my absolute favourite movies. It was certainly #1 on my list as a kid. LOVED IT. Still do.

[xngaming]

They chose the actor for the General well, he looks very similar to Curtis LeMay.

[raybon]

Every teenager in America was ready for this 1983-1985. Funniest part of this. is by the next year 1986. Soviets were already friends Gorbachev.

[charlesmcbriarty]

There is an actual game after this it is called Defcon: Everybody dies

[ShakerSilver]

Seems like General Carville was still dealing with Soviets in his youth.
He probably had to deal with less mind control and tesla coils though.

[Ace_Larrakin_Productions]

Alright, flush the bombers, get the subs in launch mode. We are at DEFCON 1.

[muzikdude]

"What does WOPR recommend, Mr. McKittrick?"
"A full-scale retaliatory strike."
"I need some machine to tell me that?"

Well you DID ask, General.

[cymtk]

me : *turns on the news lately*
uh oh

[silversurfer]

Absolutely one of my favorite movies as a child.

[dorkmax]

Background: Defense Readiness Condition is a grading system for the alert state of the entire US military. Defcon 5 is a condition of all clear. Defcon 1 means the entire US military is awaiting orders to deploy, bombers are fueled, and the subs are 1200 meters from the Soviet coastline with missile tubes on standby. Its 5 minutes to global war.

[dmmchugh]

Even after so many years this is a great movie .

[beezertwelvewashingbeard]

0:56 Defcon 1 is no time for a lighthearted smile and chuckle.

[GreatLakesDrifta]

"I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought it would do any good!"
