Twilight's Last Gleaming
A renegade USAF general, Lawrence Dell, escapes from a military prison and takes over an ICBM silo near Montana and threatens to provoke World War 3 unless the President reveals details of a secret meeting held just after the start of the Vietnam War between Dell and the then President's most trusted advisors.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is a geopolitical thriller focused on nuclear threats and Cold War tensions. There is no indication in the plot summary that Christmas plays any role in the setting, plot, themes, or resolution."
