Is that from "War Games" w/ Matthew Broderick? Or maybe 2001 or something along those lines, sorry too tired to Google at the moment (oh, just popped into my brain that it also sounds like something from Saw).
My teenage years were during the 80's and I remember being scared shitless by the (TV) movie "The Day After". Looking back, the effects are cheesy but they were top-notch at the time and given the political climate of Ronnie and Gorby, instilled a "bomb shelter" fear in me that my parents and others must have experienced during WWII.
I'm now 36 and the "cold war" has long been over but I don't have much faith in the nuclear game of chicken staying the same for very long. 9/11 showed that at least 19 people didn't care about death by retaliation (nuclear or otherwise) because they were already going to be dead. This new day and age of extremists has ushered in a whole new ball-game and I find myself once again as afraid as when I was a kid in the 80's before the "wall" came down.
