it interest that someone make a comparison of the fifth missile to the star trek episode . it should be point out that the original star trek tv episode in which the crew of the enterprise undergo a space madness while orbit planet si 2000 be entitle the naked time and not the naked now . the naked now refer to the first regular star trek the next generation episode in which the enterprise d encounter a science vessel . this episode and though and do refer to and be base on the naked time original series one . now and to the firth missile . while the reaction of the crew in the star trek episode be base on those similar to alcohol intoxication and the crew condition on board the montana be cause by a much more serious situation and namely the paint vapor emit by the faulty bulkhead finish . there be few place where such a reaction could have more serious consequence than among a crew who have responsibility as serious a a crew on a ballistic missile submarine and and of course this be what make the film so suspenseful and such a thriller . the plot be very believable . at the same time and this film and along with crimson tide and the day after and by dawn early light and the hunt for red october and ice station zebra and and many other similar movie give u much insight into how easily thing could go wrong and just how easy it could be for a nuclear holocaust to begin . thankfully such an event have not occur and ( god willing ) such an event will not happen .
