SYNOPSIS:
Cold War Armageddon revisits one of the most dangerous and tension-filled periods in modern history, when the world stood on the brink of M.A.D.—Mutually Assured Destruction. As Russia, China, and the USA flex their military power today, this eight-part series takes a gripping look back at the last time superpowers threatened global annihilation: The Cold War.
For over forty years, a single button could have unleashed all-out nuclear war. Through extraordinary archival footage and powerful first-hand accounts, Cold War Armageddon explores how the nuclear arms race, political mistrust, and ideological division between East and West reshaped the world forever.
From bomb-drilled pilots and families torn apart by the Iron Curtain to escaped dissidents living in constant fear, this series captures the terror, tension, and extraordinary human stories of an era defined by the shadow of Armageddon.
