Netflix launches the perfect film for tension lovers (and it’s directed by an Oscar winner!)

Let’s talk about A House of Dynamitea film premiered at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, directed by the Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelowwhich we know from films like Zero Dark Thirtyas well as the first woman to have won the coveted golden statuette for best director in 2010 with The Hurt Locker. These premises already make us understand that A House of Dynamite it is a quality product, which promises twists, which the plot confirms.

The film begins with the event most feared by governments: the radars of the Fort Greely military base in Alaska detect the launch of a nuclear missile approaching US territory. The estimated target is Chicago, and the impact would destroy over 10 million people. However, what shocks the government is the fact that the missile in question is not claimed: in short, no one knows who launched it, or why. Panic is therefore unleashed in the national security apparatus, which must find a solution to this imminent tragedy. A race against time full of tension and suspense, which is told through three different points of view.

Why A house od dynamite was criticized by the Pentagon

As mentioned, A House of Dynamite has already climbed the film charts, achieving great success with the public. However, it must be said that the Pentagon criticized the film, in particular one of his scenes described as “inaccurate”. According to what he reports The voice of New Yorkthe focus would fall on the film’s failure of U.S. missile defenses to shoot down an intercontinental ballistic missile. This important detail told in the film sparked the response of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), which deals with ground interception in Alaska and California. With an internal memorandum dated October 16, obtained by the international press service Bloomberg News, the MDA spoke of an “inaccurate scene”, underlining that the neutralization capacity in reality is significantly higher than what was shown.
