Fail-Safe
| Year: | 2000 |

Mostly faithful remake of the 1964 nail-biter, broadcast live on US TV and released on DVD in Australia.
George Clooney showed a little of the early leftie politics that would eventually mark a large part of his persona in Hollywood (thanks to Syriana and Good Night, and Good Luck).
It mostly retells the story with a few inevitable stumbles that you expect when watching a stageplay or a live show. You're better off watching the original first.
