The Andromeda Strain/Headscratchers

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


1971 Movie

  • All the rubber and plastic, etc on the crashed airplane was gone, but there's a landing gear with a tire sticking out of the wreckage.
  • The big heart-stopping finale is solely due to the fact that Wildfire (which had been in operation for months) was set to blow up unless the nuke-deactivating key was inserted before the time ran out, but the deactivation terminals weren't all installed yet. Wouldn't that be considered remotely important?
