This scene has much more of an impact on me now that I'm working in the professional world. The officer here reminds me of my senior engineer...

Can you imagine setting the world on fire and the only thing you see on your screen is "AWAIT FURTHER ORDERS..."

[MontagZoso]

One of my most favorite opening scenes in a movie, ever. Love this film.

1:52
"Anyone urinating in this area will be discharged"

LOL!

This scene still scares me 40 years later. I remember seeing this movie when it first came out. That part when he says "Get me someone on the God damn phone" stuck in my head since first seeing it. The tension, God.

Michael Madsen eight million cigarettes ago.

When I was in the Air Force we did the maintenance on the launch simulators like the one shown in this scene where this was filmed. This is not a mock-up - this is what the inside actually looks like.

[FectacularSpail]

I've seen this movie so many times over almost 4 decades, and I only just now noticed that when they're issued their sidearms, they each take 3 bullets.

Among a certain demographic, the sheer phrase, "Turn your key, sir!" can really inspire a hell of a lot of feelings

Something about the beginning of this scene has such a soothing ambience

[sceaux]

4:29 Boy, the Pacific Ocean is in for it now...

[G-MONEY]

The disguised house looks similar to the one blown up in The Day After.

[williamworth]

Like they say in The Hunt for Red October there's a reason they make 2 keys

Nuclear Cold War Dilemma, is this only a drill or is this really war? War Games, The Day After Tomarrow, By Dawns Early Light, Crimson Tide, The Sum Of All Fears

"This is Dropkick with a long distance dedication..."

[ryanmulcahey]

What is the point of the guns? And he's going to shoot the guy for not turning his key what difference would it make??

[richardgadberry]

He should've done what Mr Blonde wanted.

[thedungeondelver]

Very close with the comms call; wouldn't it have been "Skyking - Skyking - Do Not Answer" then the message? or was that just for bombers? (if anyone knows)

[iPilott]

And HOW is shooting him gonna get the key turned?
