Netflix recommendations?

Very similar to the book “Nuclear War” by Annie Jacobsen, the movie “A House of Dynamite” had a limited run at the movies and is available today on Netflix.
Apparently, this movie is drawing some attention from the Pentagon. I hope they don't expend too much energy on it. I thought it was an okay movie; kind of thought-provoking and was attempting to present an air of realism but obviously some creative liberties were taken. The ending was a bit disappointing.

Is that the same Annie Jacobsen that wrote the column referenced here about witnessing a hijacking dry-run in the early 2000s?
 
From what I've seen of the previews and what I've read about it so far, it gets so many of the technical details wrong I would have a hard time watching it.
The fundamentals of military, appointed, and elected officials having to make critical decisions and extremely time compressed situation is pretty much on point. And I think that is the point.

One thing I thought was super realistic was the SECDEF having a moment where he realized he was still on mute in a video conference.

I liked that the movie was divided into 3 different perspectives that kept the clock ticking.

As a sidenote, has there been any thought to bringing back / updating something like the Nike Sprint point defense interceptor rocket? Although it would be overwhelmed in a massive attack, it might be useful in a situation the movie describes where there is only 1 or 2 terrorist / rogue nations missiles inbound?
