Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

phaidon-17772 Great filmmaking. Stanislav plays himself making the film even more authentic.

johnbonn-11172 A brilliant mixture of a poetic documentary and a tense Cold War thriller. Like something out of DR STRANGELOVE, THE MAN WHO SAVED THE WORLD tells the amazing story of real life Stanislav Petrov who saved our world from nuclear Armageddon on September 26, 1983,.The movie is setting a new standard of story telling. It's filmed with the expertise of a Hollywood thriller, and the performances are simply flawless. The director has simply made a whole new genre in this densely powerful movie.Beautifully told on both a personal and international level, this is one of the most ground breaking piece of film I have seen in years and one of the most important, and most emotional films ever made.You simply have to see this film with your family, your friends. Russian Lt. Colonel Stanislav Petrov is a true hero, that we should all know and respect. Being a former officer in the Danish Army I can only praise this film and the this amazing hero!!!

SaintNicolas Wow. Pause. Breath. Exhale gratitude. Inhale inspiration,I watch loads, movies or docs, trying never to dip below 7.0 IMDb rating, plus a review that connects with me. I fail sometimes. But not with this. This documentary blew me away. This documentary elegantly and in eloquent honesty tells two intertwined stories of how humanity is saved, as a whole and also as one single mother-son relationship, both just in time, with not a minute to spare.Well done! Oh, and thanks Stanislav, by the way!!

pa-78 1983. The world holds its breath as the two superpowers United States and Russia are arming themselves against each other with thousands of nuclear missiles. On September 26, Russian radars intercept five nuclear missiles on their way to Russia. Stanislav Petrov is commander-in-chief. The decision that would start World War III rests on his shoulders. Should Russia fire nuclear missiles at the United States in defense? Today, the world still exists, but Petrov himself is a ruined man. A man who, in his own words, is not a hero and who went against all protocol, relying on his own instinct instead of the computers. 'The Man Who Saved the World' is a true pearl. Simply heartbreaking. An epic Cold War thriller that sends shivers down your spine, while also being an extremely gripping story about a man who actually saved the world, but lost his job, his wife and his dignity. A truly wonderful and very fascinating film. I have never seen anything like this before. It combines narrative and documentary filmmaking for a true and incredible powerful film!
