“A House of Dynamite” is 'wake-up call' for U.S. vulnerability to nuclear attack, senator warns USEnglish The nuclear thriller film A House of Dynamite is not simply good entertainment — it should serve as a massive wake-up call, U.S. Sen. Edward J. Markey warns. The Kathryn Bigelow-helmed film, which stars Rebecca Ferguson, Idris Elba, Anthony Ramos, Gabriel Basso, Greta Lee, and Jared Harris, begins with a single, unattributed missile being launched at the United States. It then follows the president (played by Elba) and the government officials who must use the little time they have left to attempt to shoot down the missile before it hits Chicago. "The film exposes a brutal truth that too many decision-makers and policy experts in Washington refuse to admit: Long-range missile defense will not protect us. Our only real path to escape nuclear catastrophe lies in reducing global arsenals," Markey argues in an op-ed for MSNBC published Monday.
