Another film manages to do this and was nearly written off by the screenwriter for being too "Strangelovian" at times. Network.

Highly prescient film. Both Network and Strangelove are mandatory watches, IMHO.

Thirded.

However, Network is more of an economic conspiracy movie and less of a military conspiracy one, and it's got nothing to do with nuclear weapons or war.
