Since "Wargames" wa mentioned, I thought I'd post this link to an old
PR film from the Strategic Air Command. Only a brief shot of
computing gear on reel 1, but lots of teleprinters, teletypes and
comm consoles. About 18 minutes long. The first two of three reels
are of high quality; for some reason, the third one is not.

Major Kong, I know you will think this is crazy, but I just got a message through the
CRM-114. It decodes as 'wing attack, plan R'
Goldie, did I hear you say wing attack, plan R?
Yes sir, that's how it decodes.
Now how many times have I told you boys, I don't want no messin' around on the
aircraft.
I know sir, but thats how it decodes.
Theres gotta be something wrong. Im comming back.
Better get confirmation from base.
Major Kong, message from base confirmed. Do you think this is somne kind of loyalty
test?
Aint nobody got the go code yet, and ol Ripper wouldn't be sending the go code unless
Washington and a lotta other cities been clobbered.
Well boys, I guess this is it, nukular combat, toe to toe with the Ruskies.
