Told in the style of a news report, The War Game garnered incredible amounts of controversy well before it aired — and it didn't end up seeing the light of day on the BBC until 20 years after it was made. It's a highly realistic (and thus, incredibly unsettling) look at a Soviet nuclear attack on Britain. Think of it as War of the Worlds but with an actual looming threat instead of aliens.

I know the director of that film (Peter Watkins). He lives in our small town, here in central France!
How lucky are you.
