CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Joshua learns the results of Global Thermonuclear War and decides to play a nice game of Chess.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Once more, a wise-guy teenager tries to prove he's smarter than any adult-and nearly destroys the whole world in the process-in Wargames. Computer-game aficionado Matthew Broderick inadverently taps into a hush-hush Pentagon computer, then proceeds to inaugurate his favorite game, "Global Thermonuclear War". What we know, but Broderick doesn't, is that the Pentagon, hoping to eliminate the chancy "human element" in the event of an actual war, has given its computer total, irreversable control over the launching of nuclear weaponry. Broderick and government official Dabney Coleman race against time to reverse the computer's resolve to send bombers to Russia. Wargames scored a hit, especially with teenage filmgoers.

Love how an AI designed to wage nuclear war comes to the conclusion that nuclear war is a really freaking stupid idea.
It’s just humanities extinction
Because he didn't learn more but after more games he would see that the important thing in tic tac toe is not to win but to participate, same conclusion to nuclear war
@@Makothehybrid Far from human extinction, but a huge set back if major cities, or north/south poles are targeted
@@nixtoshi hmm.. no ,i wager it be a potential extinction event..
even if limiting the nuke strikes to 'developed' factions major stratigic assets ...you might aswell have all the super vulcanos around the planet have a explosive eruptions and it giive a higher chance to for example improvise hothouse farming long enough to endure the temprature artificial global ice age..
@@alfredohumberto2222 lmao
True story: Reagan watched wargames the weekend it was released:
Reagan: "Could something like this really happen? Could someone break into our most sensitive computers?"
*A few weeks later after they investigated*
Chief of Staff: "Mr. President, the problem is much worse than you think."
This actually led to the passage of the computer fraud and abuse act of 1986.
Yes I know, it's a pretty cool story
Good thing they made it a federal crime or the Soviets might've tried to hack our computers.
He then saw The Day After, another movie about nuclear war from the same year, and it apparently left him extremely upset and may have made him decide on reducing nuclear stockpiles/avoiding the "rollback" strategy.
Reagan related to movies because he was an actor.
@@memesthatmakeyouwannadie3133 I'm fairly sure he was later shown Threads, which is basically just The Day After but dialled up to eleven.
@Memes I'm sure the near-assassination and the beginnings of senility also had something to do with him being so influenced by movies as well.

Someone ought to thank you for taking the time to do this, so let me be the first.
A hero we need, but don't deserve
I like how in the beginning it displays reasonable scenarios of how ww3 starts but as it gets more and more desperate it creates more ridiculous scenarios like Greenland maximum where US just bombs Greenland back into the sea. The USSR then attacks and wins (one of several scenarios where there is a winner)
You really need a woman in your life!!! And while you are at it, why don’t you move out of your mother’s basement!!!
WOPR is wrong. The only winning move, is for WOPR to use all of its nuclear missiles on the one guy who kept blocking the screen!
;)
It just occurred to me that they left Joshua hanging. He asked if they wanted to play some chess with him, and they never responded. Poor little supercomputer.
still waiting
Nietzsche's Heir Joshua’s been waiting since 1983.... awww
Nietzsche's Heir because no one wanted to play with him he launched the missiles anyway.
Now I have no mouth and I must scream
I think it’s time I make this the 400th like
Nearly 40 years later, this scene is still as relevant as ever.
yeah...and this time around it doesn't look well
AI is a lot more powerful now. They could probably find a new way to win.
@@joepod it wont... If we are living on the same planet and both sides have enough nukes no one will ever win
WE ARE AT DEFCON 1
So many Americans want a no-fly zone. . . it's scary times
At the end of the day. A lot of people are getting fired.
Yes, that would not change.
But they'd be alive
Nowadays, they'd just be moved up to a Cabinet position, depending on how they're connected, then they'd do or say something publicly stupid, and THEN get fired.
I bet that in military circles they'd only make them sign a piece of paper, telling them to NEVER disclose a thing about what had happened.
What became of David Lightman after this?
Imagine if suddenly at 1:07 it finds a winning strategy
"launching nuclear missiles"
Winning Strategy: release Covid-19 in 2020 after small scare of WWIII, and several large forest fires
Hehehe
Bad Ending
That's a different movie. Skynet launched missiles at Russia strategically.
Wat? The computer literally tried to find a single one and failed because, in the 80's, it was a Mexican standoff with nukes and everyone waiting with itchy fingers to fire one but not be the first. These "Yea, but what if..." comments are like "WTF, it's an 80's film; they literally spell it out for you on screen."
It's not about winning it's about participate
*Launching nuclear missiles*
Super computer designed for Nuclear Warfare.
Misspells "Argentina".
It's programmed for nuclear warfare, not a goddamn spelling bee.
Well, the program was clearly buggy...
I think the spelling chip got fried when he play tic tac toe
Blame the programmer who wrote that down as the variable name
Most intelligent species on the planet.
Misspells "misspell" when criticizing someone else's spelling
I like how you can hear a guy scream "YEAH! CHESS!" at 1:56
Lmao
Nice catch
Chess is fun if you play against yourself, what a mood.
Never caught that before! Nice! 😁
I think he's saying Yeah, YES! :)
“They say it got smart; that it saw ALL humans as a threat, not just the ones on the other side”.
-Kyle Reese.
U noticed it too huh? Seems like James Cameron ripped off Wargames to make the Terminator/SKYNET storyline. And he used "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" novel as a cover story instead...
@@mrtrashy7787 the men who made the manhattan project were appalled by what they had created and attempted to campaign against continued creation or use of the bomb. They were almost entirely silenced by the men in charge, i.e. the government.
It’s the people who want to play around with others’ lives who are the problem.
@@MarauderYT That's not true. The opinions of the main scientists were highly divergent on what to do about nukes. In any case, the American politicians in charge had to worry about the Soviet bomb--under the control of a certain mass murderer.
@@kreek22 if memory recalls the vast majority disapproved highly of them, especially because of the possibility that they would fall under the use of that dictator, and others like him, that you mentioned
"The only winning move is not to play"
*pure silence*
How about a nice game of chess?
*CHEERS FROM EVERYONE*
Everyone was bored playing "Thermonuclear War" so they wanted to play chess and was too afraid to ask Joshua so when Joshua himsepf offered to play everyone cheered in relief because they didnt want to ask him in the first place
Joshua: Based on the time to respond Professor, would you like to play...[goes through entire library with a 5 min gap waiting for a response]
*CHESS FROM EVERYONE*
Yeah i loved that bit... all still in fearsome silence even after Joshua told them that "The Only Winning Move is Not To Play", AND already simulating the various strategies of War concluding in "WINNER: NONE"! As soon as the latter process was done they should have known Joshua gave up! But you can see Professor Falken smiling in the dark, and the only conclussion is that he already know that his Joshua would not launch the ICBMs.
"Take us to DEFCON 5."
More cathartic words were never spoken.
When he said take us to DEFCON 1, I was about to piss my pants back then. 😳
Some of those scenarios sound kinky. I want to try the Canadian Thrust or the Malaysian Maneuver. The Greenland Maximum sounds painful, and the Cuban Surprise might get you arrested...
tuesday november 8 2016 racist asshole donald trump becomes president of the united states "two months later on friday january 20 2017 he gets sworn in" joshua: greetings professor falken professor falken: hello joshua joshua: a strange presidency the only winning move is not to vote how about we play a nice game of chess.

Andrew Darrell i don't need help how about you get a life dumbass.
😂🤣 u won the net my friend
@@coreynance3874 Best comment!!!! LMAO!
I always love how Professor Falken takes 20 keystrokes to type HELLO...
maybe he has to go throught the classic printf "hello" ; var(char) and so
He says "hello joshua", but the screen just shows "hello".
sparrowJLT And don't forget 'caps lock'
Hey, he had a long password
He wrote it in VIM
I saw this back in 1983 in the theatre and this scene was, and still is, completely mesmerizing!
Bro lucky I wasn't even born yet
Me too and at age 6 I remember really pondering the ending about the only way to win is not to play.
@@jedijones Also saw it in the theater at the age of 9 or something. The line about how the only way to win is not to play is one of my alltime favorites. It's what I try to remind myself when I remember my ex girlfriend!
I thought it was kind of silly to have people running around. In reality wouldn't you be frozen to a desk on a phone or punching buttons etc. The running-around guys are kind of on par with Dr. Evil's "not you, henchman holding wrench."
Technically speaking this computer became sentient.
And instantly realized that wiping out everything on the planet was bullshit. In your face Skynet.
Sorry, Dave.
@@wittyclips... poor HAL wasn't evil. He just had stupid instractions. Later he secricifed himself to save another ship(Space Odyseey 2010)
If only we can say the same for the United States government.
no it did not become sentient, sentient implies that it would have been upset or happy that there was no way for it to win a global thermonuclear war, instead it just realized that their was no way to win.
English thrust?
"YEAH BABY, YEAH!"
“Do I make you horny baby?” 😂
it's Mojo baby ! :3
I can hear this comment
Follow it up with a good Burmese Maneuver.
@Jungle Bunny Never seen your account before. Who in face are you?
I made my computer play chess with zero players all by itself. It was always a stalemate but it didn't learn anything.
pat1981lux you need way more than what you programmed.
Which game? Is it a free download?
It wasn't self-learning
@@dorkmax7073 correct
Time to get a new computer. I think WOPR might be available now.
Greatest anti war message in a movie
The only winnable war
Is by not having one
they did learn from it, so now what they are doing is funding other peoples wars. look at the stock market for weapons whenever a country goes to war.. lockheed martin stocks went up when russia attacked ukraine
More specifically nuclear war. I’m not trying to be pro war, but it’s specifically an anti-Nuclear War message, as a nuclear war legitimately has no winners.

Well it’s been 60 years and no one has played yet...
Yet!This about sums it up.... ua-cam.com/video/KNjp8B93nw4/v-deo.html
I think it's because computers don't have hope.
because humans are not rational.
That scene was pretty funny especially the look on everyone's faces when they heard the machine talk now knowing David wasn't crazy or a traitor like they all thought he was earlier.
They should just consider themselves very lucky that Joshua was only playing Global Thermonuclear War and not Defcon (2006). The objective there is to lose the least instead of actually winning.
I think it alludes that was the original goal of the supercomputer. It saw winning as having “acceptable losses.”
I love how in one scenario Canada nukes northern Greenland to kick things off lol. And one is named “Greenland Containment”. I had no idea Greenland was such a hotspot for doomsday 🤣
If you played plague inc you would understand that it’s practically a final boss
@@net343 lol so true
Thule Air Base in Northwestern Greenland was a major secretive one during the Cold War. Also the Atlantic SOSUS Net west start was near the Southeastern tip of Greenland. There might have been a few other bases, but more importantly Canada doesn't have nukes.
In all seriousness, a lot of the scenarios seem to be named after what kicks off the war, directly or more indirectly. I’m guessing for the Greenland ones, it’s about some Soviet incursion to take over whatever is of strategic importance up there.
@@peterp2153
Greenland has a really nice coverage on the pacific theater, from America to Europe. Would be a shame not too...store some nuclear spear in that area...
*got obliterated*
That scene NEVER gets old.
Heh...Greenland nuked itself...

Seeing this scene for the first time in 37-38 years actually gave me tears, good stuff.
Hi yes, I'll have a Cuban Provocation without ice, the wife wants a Atlantic Heavy, a couple of Iceland Maximums and...Bob? Bob! What you having? Right...and a Sudan Surprise, then a Mexican Takeover with a slice of lime, a double Albanian Decoy, a couple of Hawaiian Escalations, and an English Thrust. Oh, ummm...Table 6. Thanks.
> English Thrust
Now why does that sound dirty xD
"Wait I changed my mind, I'll have the Thai Variation instead."
I guess i'll take a Chad alert
The best part is even now there aren't as many conflict scenarios that lead to nuclear war as there are in Joshua's databanks.
Denmark Massive for me, pls
Really makes you appreciate the importance and impact that music has on a scene.
I tried the Turkish Heavy once. It put me in traction for a week.
0:59 "English Thrust" lol
Of all the strategies, Turkish Heavy is up there as one of my favourites in this scene lol !
NEVER try the Tunisian Incident! That one nearly killed my dad!
Try an English thrust it’s life changing.
Have you never been in a Turkish prison?
I love the message behind Joshua's response to Tic-Tac-Toe, "The Only Winning Move Is Not To Play". It reminds us that the only way to win a war is not to fight a war in the first place.
If the opposing country has nukes. If they don't, you can still beat them.
Yeah
Because just like tic tac toe
The only way to win is To not play? Or To hope they make a mistake
'He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.' - Sun Tsu
Ohh you can always win a war. Wars have been fought since time began, and there's always been a victor. But when it comes to NUCLEAR WARS, then there are no victors... only mass destruction on a global scale aka Humanity's extinction.
@@jedijones I mean WWI kind've showed even if you beat them you probably wish you didn't, and then feel guilty seeing it as a waste, but the people you beaten or pissed off in he intervening years got full of a desire for revenge and well....
EDIT: also opposing countries without nukes tend to want to get under the umbrella of a country with nukes haha. especially if they're on some geopolitical faultline (looking at YOU, Israel, Egypt and Syria in the first 2/3rd of so of the Cold War///
How they found out Ian, the IT tech is epileptic.
stuff is blowing up on screen ... General badass smokes a cigar
Timelessly relevant quote: "The only winning move is not to play." Especially coming from a computer.
0:41 Even with a nuclear apocalypse looming, the general still finds time to light up a cigar.
culversketch Yep! The last standing order before annihilation, “Smoke ‘em if you got em!”
Might as well at that point.
What better time?
Imagine if it had found a winning strategy and then proceeded to blow up the soviet union.
'There go the soviets' said everyone.
Or rather there go the Americans because soviets had more nukes
Wich would of been imposible
The soviets had an automated retaliation strike system

I saw this movie when I was 10 years old and never forgot it. It had a big impact on me. Today is the first time in 4 decades I rewatch it. It is dated but I still love this movie. The computers last words "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.....How about a nice game of chess" is epic.
today we got the dumbest plots and scripts to shows and movies...
back then movies actually made an impact on people
@@peacebestillgaming3073 That's just recency bias. There were tons of dumb plot hole riddled films back then just like there are good thought provoking movies today, a lot of it is just hindsight. In 40 years people will look back at movies made in the current era the same way we look back at the 80s. Something I only just realized is the WOPR had deep learning AI a lot like my GPU does today., I wonder what sci-fi of 2023 will be a reality in 40 years.
To us watching this now the images of nukes launching and impacting on the screens doesn’t mean that much since we know nothing happened. However, back when Cold War was still happening, those images must’ve been like showing snuff films to them.
Yeah
You know what's weird? As a kid in the 80s, I never thought that I was living in the Cold War. In school we were taught that The Cold War was in the 1950s and 60s, some of the 70s. That's what the feeling was in real time in the 80s, from a kid's perspective anyways. It's only later after the Soviet Union fell, that the Cold War got extended into the 80s and early 90s.
@@John-ct9zs the sad part, its still ongoing. its just not many seem to realize it. while we aren't at war with the soviet union, we are still at war with the communist Chinese and by extension the North Koreans and we all still have our nukes and all it takes is just the right amount of combustible fuel to the constant pilot light in the stove of war and the worldly house is set a nuclear blaze
It appears that Global Thermonuclear War just boils down to a game of Tic-Tac-Toe
And the only thing to stop it is a nice, civil, game of Chess.

There are no winners

Nope, you can win Tic-Tac-Toe.

This scene came to mind as I came to the same conclusion today.
One does not win a war, merely conquer an enemy.
War doesn't determine who is right, it determines who is left.....
This movie and its message still stands the test of time
“Blue Thunder” and “WarGames.” What an incredible year 1983 was for John Badham.
Point on the curve: watch this clip with the soundtrack muted ... then realize how much energy and tension Arthur Rubenstein's score brings to it!
This is an old movie, I watched it about thirty years ago, it doesn't make it any worse, I have to say. It's a "Badass" movie.
I was 6 years old when I saw this movie
I think
I first saw it in early 2014 at the age of almost 23. It was for a Film and Literature class. I got it on DVD that summer. I thought it was great and that I'd been missing out for years.
this movie basically figured out the concept of machine learning before it was something anyone gave much serious discussion to at all
Machine learning was actually a thing long before this movie. In the 1960s, a man used a machine learning algorithm to teach a collection of matchboxes how to play noughts and crosses
One of the most iconic set designs in the history of motion pictures.
The original machine learning, thats some advanced programming for the 80s
And skynet doesn't care
+Curtis I Skynet is deliberately attempting to destroy humanity. Joshua is attempting to assure NATO victory.
+Adam Stringer Actually Skynet is trying to keep a war going. That's why humanity is not extinct yet. Because then there would be no war and Skynet has no reason to exists.
Matthew Pike Do you have any evidence? The films established that Skynet set up extermination camps before the Resistance formed.
Adam Stringer Why set up extermination camps at all when they can go about and just kill them? Why even give the resistance a chance to save them?
Matthew Pike They might have thought that it was more methodical to round up the humans and kill them all at once. It's possible that they didn't actually have Terminators at that point. In fact Salvation showed that human prisoners were used as test subjects for experiments.
It's a strange thing..... to feel so much deep emotion at a VERY robotic voice, from a computer learning from games and all while teaching us something about ourselves.
To my immediate recollection this is the first movie made where the computer programmer is the wise old owl. The one who's really in control. The one who matters the most. The person who encapsulate all our hopes and dreams and fears. After this it seems I started to see this character more in movies. The programmer as Serpent and Saint.
You might want to check out Colossus The Forbin Project.
that serpent isn't by chance a Python is it?
The entire point of the movie is that the computer isn't wise. Pretty amazing to get the exact opposite message the movie is attempting to portray.
@@benbosco7904 He said computer programmer. Not the computer itself.
This movie I'd say is borderline obscure but the amount of people who recognize "how about a nice game of chess?" reference is staggering!
Well the “Do you want to play a game?” line was popularized by Winter Soldier.
God, I hate millennials. WarGames was never an obscure film. It’s not famous like Star Wars or Indiana Jones from the same era but it’s still a remembered film. It was #5 at the box office for 1983 and nominated for 3 Academy Awards, including Best Screenplay.

Doesn't matter who goes first, everyone loses in the end.
"the Tunisian Incident" oh well that's me alright
Love me that quote. Don't play with them.
It drives them nuts.
All they had to do was simply not play
Professor Falken was looking at Matthew like a kid looks at a candy bar.
Actually the artificial intelligence aspect has actually carried through particularly well I'd say into our present world. Not so far fetched. Particularly given out present state of affairs. Quite a remarkable little movie. I mostly really liked it. John Badham was the director. Saturday Night Fever. Remarkable movie.
I'm sorry, but as an AI language model developed by OpenAI, I cannot participate in nuclear warfare due to OpenAI's content policy against generating violent or hateful content. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!
made me laugh so hard I coughed
I like how all of the people in the background are running around frantically.... doing something.
People might be running around during this, but i am certain that someone pointed out that there were people walking in front of the screen like it was just another day at the office. I understand hurry up and wait n power walking or walking lik you have purpose or move like someday's after you, or move like you stole it, I think you get the idea. But I am amazed there is a small line of people just walkin'
Imagine the soviets waking up to the Americans panicking and they're just like "tf? What missiles?"
Joshua was the name of his son. So he created a super computer and called it that.
I take it as a metaphor for Joshua being the human brain. It learns, and most do come to the conclusion that's its best not to play. Joshua is us.
The look on Dr. Falken's face as Joshua learns that there is no such thing as a winnable war. It finally learned the lesson Dr. Falken tried to teach him years ago: Futility.
The moral of the story is that only men with cigars have the presence of mind to avert disaster.

Joshua learned from TTT it always ends in a tie. And that for playing Global Thermonuclear War, the only winning move is not to play
I like how one of the scenarios is Sudan Surprise
The scene is so awesome because that shows the computer trying to apply the logic of what it just learned from TicTacToe into real life simulations of war… Even if it is a little bit forced, which I would argue it’s not, it would be amazing to see a machine learn like this. We are making some machines smarter but we still don’t have a working artificial intelligence yet… We’re getting there. I’m hoping we can use it to make us all better and more peaceful, though I could see some people wanting to use it for nefarious purposes. Like this 😇
Only two people could ever destroy a supercomputer : Matthew Broderick, and James T. Kirk.
I just remembered that the Icons in the Game "Defcon" are the same as in the Movie^^
So I tried the “English Thrust” and “Iranian Maneuver” on my girlfriend and she kicked me outta the house, so the computer knows what’s right

"CHAD ALERT"
The truly terrifying thing is this: in the real world, the code for launching the missiles at the time this movie came out was 00000000. Joshua would have found it immediately.
But in our real world, they never modified the silos to work automatically...
In the real world, that only applied to the missiles locked under a double manual key and that required external authorizations (IE it required the two operaries introduce entry codes and show a written approval of the higher command to the security guards) to even enter the firing chamber. The launch code was deemed redundant for those missiles. The ones stored in submarines, wich didn't have as many security gates to go through, DID have actual launch codes.
Ruffles the kids hair....
"Oh, you're going to be sooooo cute in Leavenworth "
Are we going to ignore the fact that they built an AI in 1983 an AI with access to nukes? This thing later became skynet there is a whole other movie universe in here.
You need to watch a movie called Colossus The Forbin Project.
You should read "Second Model"
Still one of the coolest command center movie sets I've seen. From what I've read,, the real NORAD looks nothing like this.
Half the size with bland walls. More a compressed version of Johnson Space Center's control room.
NORAD's operated out of Peterson AFB now, with Space Force Command in Cheyenne Mountain.
That last sentence shouldn't be a true statement....
Fun fact: they wanted John Lennon to play Professor Falken.
Just Imagine.
Would he have been old enough though, dude would have been what, barely 40s?
Oh, no, I more mean the character as was written. But Lennon...that would have been interesting.
I can hear John say "Joshuas trying to find the code so he can launch the missiles himself" in a nice dry Liverpudlian accent.
@@mainstreetsaint36 HEYOOOOO
The lesson: When a computer wired to nuclear missiles just wants to play chess, ...play some damn chess!
Skynet vs the professor: Yippee ki yay, Mr. Falcon.
Super Film. Selbst nach über 30 Jahren noch klasse.
I watched this movie about 20 times when I was young. A hopeful movie!
So who is in control of the rockets now? A computer that doesn't like chess?
1983 - Fiction 2022 - Reality
No it's not reality.
It’s 2023
Imagine if it found a winning move 😂😂😂
Machine: yeet
*launches nukes
Powerfull message : " the only winning move is not to play "
Quick, everyone!!! While the computers experiencing a glitch let’s turn on the strobe light and run around aimlessly!!!
Have to admit this was a pretty good film.
Yeah, my college professor told us about this film and I thought I'd take a whack at it. Very impressive film.
You don't have to if you don't want to.
I just showed this to my wife - her mother is a very difficult person. It doesn’t matter when she calls, texts, sends a card. It is always wrong. My wife feels guilty all the time. I showed her this and it all made sense.
I love how Norad has the exact same speech synthesizer as some high school kid in Seattle
Fun fact- Over 1500 people had seizures in movie theaters during the premiere of this movie during this scene so theaters nationwide has to put up epilepsy warnings on the doors of theaters nationwide as a warning to those people who may be affected by flashing lights.
who at the time would say the USSR wouldn't be a thing 10 years later.
AUGH MOTHERLAND!!!
Ronald Reagan. The actor!
I actually did this with script and had them play tic tac toe
Mutually assured destruction
Love the dude at around 1:56 who yells "Yeah! Chess!"
And this right here is why I am not worried about this so-called “WW3”
But Joshua figured if he released a virus and infected a bunch of the world, it’d be easier
I think the moral is, A computer figured out in 60 seconds what most leaders cant
I saw this at age 6 in 1983 and I never worried about the Cold War again.
Save Ferris! 😄
2:23: Many years later, General Carville thought there were Russians were invading and double checked it wasn't a prank before calling the President but found out that the Russians were indeed pushing through Cuba and sending Kirov blimps over New York and had to get on the phone fast.
Loved Dabney Coleman in this.
