So the Russians jammed the communication of the pilots of the plane carrying the hydrogen bombs without taking into account that they are thus putting themselves in a self-destructive situation? This is the only flaw I find in the film, otherwise, everything is extraordinary, especially the tension that Sidney Lumet knows how to create. Then the work with the actors is super special and we have some really spectacular performances: Henry Fonda, Larry Hagman, Walter Matthau, Fritz Weaver, Frank Overton, Dan O'Herlihy, even Dom DeLuise, very young and in a small role . This "Fail-Safe", together with Kubrick's film in which Peter Sellers has a triple role (true cinephiles know which film I am referring to) are the masterpieces of the genre.
