McKittrick: These computers give us instant access to the state of the world. Troop movements, Soviet missile tests, shifting weather patterns. It all flows into this room and then into what we call the WOPR computer.
White House Aide: WOPR? What is that?
McKittrick: The War Operations Plan and Response. This is, uh, Mr. Richter. Paul, would you like to tell these gentlemen about the WOPR?
Richter: Well, the WOPR spends all its time thinking about WWIII. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it plays an endless series of war games, using all available information on the state of the world. The WOPR has already fought WWIII as a game, time and time again. It estimates Soviet responses to our responses to their responses and so on. Estimates damage, counts the dead, then it looks for ways to improve its score...
McKittrick: But the point is, is that the key decisions of every conceivable nuclear crisis have already been made by the WOPR. |
