Pentagon disputes accuracy of Netflix's 'A House of Dynamite'
The U.S. Department of Defense has challenged the depiction of America's missile defense capabilities in Kathryn Bigelow's new Netflix film 'A House of Dynamite,' claiming real-world systems are far more reliable than shown. An internal memo highlights a 100% success rate in testing, contrasting the movie's portrayal of a failed intercept attempt on a missile targeting Chicago. Screenwriter Noah Oppenheim respectfully disagreed, emphasizing the film's basis in consultations with experts.
