Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

phaidon-17772 Great filmmaking. Stanislav plays himself making the film even more authentic.

rege101 The movie is a must see for everybody. The story was indeed extremely personal for me as I have studied with Ann Petrova who is a niece of Stanislav. More to say, she was my first childhood love. We have rarely met with Stanislav himself as he was not much seen in the family but he was quiet and no one NEVER EVER told anything about what had happened with him. Despite the fact he should have been proclaimed a national hero hardly anyone knows about him at all. More to say, whenever the story is being brought up it is being treated as a hoax. It is indeed absolutely great that the story was finally told. The world should remember people like him. After all... we are all here because of him:)

plop72 Well... Yes, I lived through the cold war. And yes, war was painfully close a couple of times. And there are some good movies made about the time period. Thirteen Days being one of the best (Cuban Missile Crisis). This has nothing to do with that. This is not even close. So if you are expecting some exciting movie like that, look elsewhere. This is a documentary about a Russian military man that prevented nuclear retaliation based on false intelligence. He 'did not push The Button'. Nothing more, nothing less. It's no small feat, don't get me wrong. But this is no exciting Hollywood thriller either. It's boring basically.

johnstevenspol Danish Director: Peter Anthony's unusual, melodramatic THE MAN WHO SAVED THE WORLD, following a conflicted, curmudgeonly Russian who prevented a nuclear war back in 1983 is one of the best film I've ever seen.The fateful events of the September 26th, 1983, during one of the most frozen periods of the Cold War sets the stage for "THE MAN WHO SAVED THE WORLD". We follow 44-year old Lt. Col. Stanislav Petrov reporting for his shift at Serphukov 15, the Soviet Nuclear Command center. A report of 5 nuclear missiles headed towards Moscow from the United States is confirmed and escalated to the Kremlin by Stanislav. They order him to launch a counter-attack. In that moment, the fate of all mankind rests in his hands. The incident, his decision and the aftermath are depicted with heart pounding suspense. We meet Stanislav Petrov today, now aged 69, surrounded by empty vodka bottles and dust in his tiny flat not far from Moscow. With Galina his translator, he travels to the United States to be recognized for his heroic actions. In the US, he begins a personal journey towards reconciliation and redemption that reminds us of the fragile nature of the human condition.It really touched my heart. Fantastic Film. Supreme directing. A must see!
