U.S. Army Signal Corps imaginative film about possible future television controlled atomic rocket weapon
Film speculates about future television controlled atomic rocket. In opening scene, a supposed operator mounts a fake control panel in the supposed future. The panel shows displays labeled: "elevation, and azimuth." It also shows buttons labeled "launch," and "fire." The operator presses the "launch' button, and a television screen in the room shows a rocket powered guided missile launching from a slightly elevated track. It carries a bomb beneath it which detaches soon after the launch, and falls to explode on the ground. The operator makes adjustments to elevation and azimuth and the next flying bomb responds and flies higher and longer than in the first trial. When it reaches a point above the presumed target, the operator dials the elevation control completely to zero and presses the "fire" button. Next, an atomic explosion is seen with the classic mushroom cloud rising high above the ground.
