The Russians and Americans trade threats and bluffs, although neither wants to get involved in a real conflict while the Chinese are acting uncontrollably. Unwilling to move large numbers of troops to Berlin because of the escalation in Vietnam, the United States deploys NATO field nuclear weapons instead.

The Russians call the American bluff, and a limited nuclear exchange takes place. Watkins deliberately ignores the effect of the bombs on America and Russia. Instead, he "documents" the side effects in England, which has 75 or so targets of military consequence.Based on the children's book by writer Michael Foreman and featuring the voice of Kate Winslet (Titanic, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), this British animated adventure tells the story of three young chums who find themselves fighting the Germans in the First World War. As the battles rage, the young men on both sides of the conflict suddenly and unexpectedly strike up a soccer match on Christmas Day. Matthew Tobey, Rovi
