Can you tell me movies in which the world risks an apocalypse because the president of the USA launches nuclear strikes from the nuclear football?

For example, “Terminator Genisys” almost does it in a scene.

Not a movie but a TV series.

There’s an episode of the TV show Madam Secretary a bit like that.

In Strangelove, Fail Safe, and World War III, the football isn’t used.

The only ones I can think of have already been mentioned. Fail Safe and Dr. Strangelove. I think Strangelove was intended as a Fail Safe spoof, but took on a life of its own and became a cult classic.
