During the WWII firebombings of Japan , the Cuban missile crisis in the ’60s, and the bombing of North Vietnam in the ’70s, Robert S. McNamara was there to advise U.S. presidents and the military. In this film, he personally raises deep moral questions over the role he played in events that caused hundreds of thousands to lose their lives. How did this technocrat and hawk, with a fondness for numbers, come to wield such devastating influence over modern history? 107 mins. 35mm. Academy Award® winner.
