Given that the only point of the above comment appears to be to remind people that the OP topic is associated with a low status conspiracy theory and is therefore low status, would one of the people who upvoted it care to explain why?

A truly brilliant movie, with many insightful comments on decision theory and Cold War politics. Absolutely everyone should watch it.
