Smuggling yourself aboard the rogue submarine was the easy part. Hacking into the nuclear missile launch override — a little harder. And you've got a problem: you don't have the override code. You know you need the same numbers that were used to authorize the launch, but one wrong answer will lock you out. Can you figure out what numbers to enter to stop nuclear war? Alex Rosenthal shows how. \[Directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Cem Misirlioglu and Amit Peled\].
