A House of Dynamite: Fact, Fiction, and U.S. Homeland Defense | HTK

Video Description

A nuclear-armed ballistic missile could reach the United States in less than 30 minutes, leaving decisionmakers only minutes to defend the homeland and determine how to respond. Netflix’s recently released A House of Dynamite follows members of the U.S. government’s national security establishment as they confront the stark decisions such an attack would demand. Could this kind of event happen in the real world? Would the United States be able to intercept the missile? What would a U.S. response look like? To discuss what we can learn from the movie, what it gets right and wrong, and how it can inform conversations about national security, please join the CSIS Defense and Security Department’s HTK Series for a conversation featuring Heather Williams, director of the CSIS Project on Nuclear Issues, Tom Karako, director of the CSIS Missile Defense Project, and Kari Bingen, director of the CSIS Aerospace Security Project. This event is made possible by general support to CSIS. --------------------------------------------- A nonpartisan institution, CSIS is the top national security think tank in the world.
