## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A bomber hums over the Arctic ice at midnight. Ground control’s voice glows red on the radio. The President’s office is a bunker of silent phones.

One command reaches the wrong target. The button is flush and cold.

Sidney Lumet’s chilling chess game of buttons and regret still feels like an accidental prophecy.
