Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Simply brilliant!!!A master piece!!!This is one of the best and most important films I have ever seen. A film that really should be watched by everyone alive. THE MAN WHO SAVED THE WORLD works as both a gripping tale, an intense thriller, and a true celebration of humanity and mankind.A modern DR STRANGELOVE... but a true story. It really blew the minds of me, my daughter and my wife!!! Thank you so much Peter Anthony for directing this master piece... and thank you Stanislav for saving the world!

Wow. Pause. Breath. Exhale gratitude. Inhale inspiration,I watch loads, movies or docs, trying never to dip below 7.0 IMDb rating, plus a review that connects with me. I fail sometimes. But not with this. This documentary blew me away. This documentary elegantly and in eloquent honesty tells two intertwined stories of how humanity is saved, as a whole and also as one single mother-son relationship, both just in time, with not a minute to spare.Well done! Oh, and thanks Stanislav, by the way!!

The Plot/Few people know of him.Yet hundreds of millions of people are alive because of him. The actions of Stanislav Petrov, a retired Soviet military officer, prevented the start of a worldwide nuclear war and the devastation of much of the Earth.I am shocked at the good reviews here on IMDb and am convinced most of them are from clowns who worked on the movie.This film is dull, lifeless and boring.It's really a 20 minute TV show stretched out to 105 minute that will put you to sleep. There is no drama or tension. And you already know the ending. Zzzzzzzzzz.You are warned.

"The man who saved the world" is eye-opening and it actually made my eyes tear up several times.It's compelling filmmaking and a fascinating story with which all human beings should familiarize themselves.A Cold War thriller that shows us just how close we came to World War III … and it's not over yet! With a new cold war rising and thousands of nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert, we still live under the same catastrophic danger that Stanislav faced back then.I left the theater feeling that it is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen.
