Summary: Fifty years ago, at the height of the Cold War, the USSR launched Sputnik, the first satellite to orbit Earth, bringing America to its knees in awe--then fear. Initially thrilling as a marvel of science, Sputnik was soon viewed by America as a weapon of mass destruction. Narrated by Liev Schreiber with expert use of archival footage, Sputnik Mania explores the fast-moving series of events that brought the world's superpowers to the brink of nuclear war and tells the story of two ex-generals whose private agreement prevented World War III.
