一部關於全球核武器探索的紀錄片。

COUNTDOWN TO ZERO traces the history of the atomic bomb from its origins to the present state of global affairs: nine nations possessing nuclear weapons capabilities with others racing to join them, with the world held in a delicate balance that could be shattered by an act of terrorism, failed diplomacy, or a simple accident. Written and directed by acclaimed documentarian Lucy Walker (The Devil’s Playground, Blindsight), the film features an array of important international statesmen, including President Jimmy Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev, Pervez Musharraf and Tony Blair. It makes a compelling case for worldwide nuclear disarmament, an issue more topical than ever with the Obama administration working to revive this goal today. The film was produced by Academy Award® winner and current nominee Lawrence Bender (Inglourious Basterds, An Inconvenient Truth) and developed, financed and executive produced by Participant Media, together with World Security Institute. Participant collaborated with Magnolia on last year’s Food, Inc., recently nominated for an Academy Award®, and the upcoming CASINO JACK and the United States of Money. Jeff Skoll, Diane Weyermann, Bruce Blair and Matt Brown are the film’s executive producers.

由在紀錄片領域裏倍受讚譽的電影人露西·沃克（Lucy Walker）編劇並執導，她特別將鏡頭對焦在了許多在國際政治領域非常有發言權的政客身上，包括美國的第39任總統吉米·卡特（Jimmy Carter）、前蘇聯國家領導人米哈伊爾·戈爾巴喬夫（Mikhail Gorbachev）、巴基斯坦前總統佩爾韋茲·穆沙拉夫（Pervez Musharraf）和前英國首相托尼·布萊爾（Tony Blair），並由此引申出了一個擁有着無與倫比的關注度的事件，針對的就是全世界範圍內的核裁軍——在以美國第44任總統奧巴馬為首的政權體系不斷地嘗試着想要重新實現這一目標的過程中，也使得這個話題受到了前所未有的關注。
