Watch List
Fifty years ago, at the height of the Cold War, the USSR launched Sputnik, the first satellite to orbit the earth, bringing America to its knees in awe – then fear. Initially thrilling as a marvel of science, Sputnik was soon viewed by America as a weapon of mass destruction. Narrated by Live Schreiber with expert use of archival footage, SPUTNIK MANIA explores the fast-moving series of events that brought the world’s super-powers to the brink of nuclear war, and includes the story of two ex-generals whose private agreement prevented WW III.
