Seeing young Matthew Broderick as a young and geeky, rather pathetic looking teen, all of the sudden thrown into the midst of a nuclear war scenario was perhaps one of the most entertaining things I've seen all year,
Great fun and reasonable accuracy on the military side of things.
4 Stars

For a film over 20 years old, it still has punch. What a brilliant film with a very potent message! Engaging, suspensful and an overall enjoyable experience. I found the acting great and the idea of computer systems in such a powerful position is believable (if not actual in current day) and relevant still. 4 Stars.

I know this movie is a bit old now but it is still worth watching. The questions that are raised are still current.

Although a bit dated now, was still enjoyable. Chance to see how much technology has advanced in such a short time.
