Netflix’s 'A House of Dynamite' Is Fiction—But the Threat Isn’t

Netflix’s 'A House of Dynamite' Is Fiction—But the Threat Isn’t

The #1 movie on Netflix, 'A House of Dynamite', imagines the unthinkable: a ballistic missile headed straight for Chicago. Michael Smerconish sits down with screenwriter Noah Oppenheim and former White House national security advisor Richard Clarke to separate cinematic fiction from terrifying fact. Oppenheim, who co-wrote 'Zero Day' and once led NBC News, reveals how his collaboration with director Kathryn Bigelow turned a 20-minute nuclear countdown into the most intense film of the year—and why the Pentagon actually responded to it. Then Clarke, who served under Presidents Bush, Clinton, and Bush, explains how much of the movie mirrors his real-life experience in the Situation Room on 9/11, and why America’s nuclear defenses may not be as foolproof as we’d like to think. Can the U.S. really stop an incoming missile? Would the President have only minutes to decide the fate of the world? And how close are we, right now, to midnight on the doomsday clock?
