    Wargames (2026)

    ..same movie, reaches the climax where the computer is evaluating every resulting scenario from Global Thermonuclear War. Suddenly, before completing the evaluation, the computer stops. David realizes he has run out of tokens. Nuclear weapons from across the globe shoot into the sky. Fade to bright white.
