The Man who Saved the World

Peter Anthony Denemarken 2014 105 min.

Few people have ever heard of him. And yet he has saved millions of lives. Stanislav Petrov, an officer in the Soviet Army, had to make a choice in 1983 that would have unforeseeable consequences. In the control centre where he works, a missile is detected attacking the Soviet Union from the US. The decision resting on Petrovs shoulders us whether the Soviet Union should respond immediately by launching nuclear missiles. A thriller that makes you realize how close the world came to an apocalypse.
