Primary
The film satirizes the absurdity and dangers of Cold War nuclear brinkmanship, critiquing the irrationality and systemic failures within both US and Soviet defense establishments without championing a specific political solution or ideology.

The movie features a cast predominantly composed of white males, reflecting the historical context of its setting without intentional race or gender swaps. While the narrative satirizes and critically portrays these male characters in positions of power, this critique is aimed at their actions and the systems they operate within, rather than explicitly targeting traditional identities from a diversity, equity, and inclusion perspective.
