Why the fuck did CN air this on repeat for a solid day every year? Did they stop doing that?

No but seriously, isn't there a bunch of procedures you have to go through before a nuke can be launched?

>>92648496
Because its a fucking awesome movie

>>92648558
Yeah, you have to turn a key and press a button, very complex

>>92648565
Yeah but why? I love it too, but there must've been a specific reason for it.

>>92648594
Many systems require more than 1 key to be used at the same time, but that is pretty much it

>>92648558
Yes, it'd be a better use of time to just tell you to read the wiki about it but basically no one person could every launch a nuclear attack.

You also need the launch codes from the president, which is authorization. If he delegated the actual launch to someone else, this scenario could happen.

I remember watching this as a kid with some other children from school, and one of the kids dad came to pick him up and he saw the guns and stuff in the movie and yelled at my parents (how dare you show my precious son this filth!)

how this movie can be so underrated?

>>92648558
they already had the authorization to use the nukes and the general had the nautilus on standby with the nuke. on the radio only he had, and mansley snatched it and just said "LAUNCH NOW" so they heard launch and went with it. you could suspend disbelief and rationalize it 5 ways from wednsday about radio distortion, high tensions, etc etc. This IS cold war America after all, hair triggers apply

>>92648895
because it was a bomb at the box office because of shitty WB marketing (that is to say none at all) but it became a "cult classic" on Video because they were geniuses and bundled it with a toy.

>>92648496
They used to appreciate good animation at one point and it probably brought in a good chunk of viewers.

>tfw still got my Iron Giant figure from the VHS next to my tv
I wish I could find the tape though

>>92648594
You also have to contemplate the severe consequences of launching a nuke. You could very well start World War III, ending our reign over this planet for good.

Not personally, there's a very detailed complicated list of the situations of when and when not to launch a nuclear retaliation or attack. The whole point is that these professionals will be able to act efficiently when the order to act comes.

Because it was Thanksgiving they aired it on iirc and most networks don't really give a fuck so why not just rerun a good movie the family can enjoy all day
