1983: The Brink of Apocalypse

[Centauri]

On this near-fateful day, a series of accidents nearly unleashed the Third World War. Senior figures in the Soviet Union had convinced themselves that they were about to come under nuclear attack from the West, and the vast Soviet nuclear arsenal of missiles, bombers and submarines were put on maximum alert, ready to launch a full nuclear retaliatory attack on Western Europe and the US. Armageddon beckoned. This documentary tells the dramatic story behind this sequence of events when Soviet fingers hovered perilously over the nuclear button. The intelligence communities in the US, Europe and the former USSR have never before admitted to the scale of this crisis. Now senior agents on both sides - including Robert Gates, then deputy head of CIA and now Secretary of Defense, and East German spy codenamed Topaz - speak for the first time about the day the Earth almost ended.
