Line (Distant Early Warning Line), an expensive network of military radar placed in northern Canada to detect Soviet bombers heading towards America. This was possibly the first incarnation of failed attempts at protection from nuclear attack during the cold war. The DEW Line, though costly in construction, became outdated after the advent of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. But this film serves as a captivating peak at cold war military attitudes and projects. The DEW Line Story is an interesting step on the way towards acceptance of mutually assured destruction.
