What is 1983: The Brink of Apocalypse about? Toggle content

In November 1983, the world teetered on the brink of nuclear war. A NATO command post exercise, codenamed Able Archer 83, simulated a large-scale nuclear attack, unaware that the Soviet Union believed it was real. Tensions between the East and West were at an all-time high, with espionage and paranoia on both sides. The USSR prepared for the worst, mistaking the exercise for an impending apocalypse. This documentary recounts the events that led to one of the most dangerous moments in Cold War history, a chilling reminder of the devastating consequences of miscommunication and mistrust.
