A group of promising young trainees at Vandenberg Air Force Base takes aim at fictitious targets during the high-pressure training simulations that will give them the skills they will need to sit behind the launch controls of our nation's nuclear weapons. Under the tutelage of weapons experts, the trainees practice confusing tandem procedures and struggle to learn the complicated series of steps necessary to initiate the basic launch sequence for a nuclear missile.
