The Heritage Foundation's film about nuclear threats, "33 Minutes", [2] is a modern day Reefer Madness [3], the 1930s film on the descent into insanity and criminality of a group of marijuana smokers. The film's title refers to the time it would take for an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), presumably launched by a rogue state such as North Korea or Iran, to reach the continental US. What if, the film asks, a terrorist group were to acquire an ICBM, arm it with a nuclear warhead, shoot it at the U.S. and explode it one kilometer over the center of the country?
