On Oct 24., 2025, Netflix released “A House of Dynamite,” the new film by Kathryn Bigelow. In the film, an intercontinental ballistic missile is headed towards Chicago, and various U.S. government and military officials try to find a way to respond to this news. At the Washington Times, CERL Advisory Council member David S. Jonas argues that the film’s message supports the Golden Dome missile defense system, which would help disable a small number of ICBMs from an accidental launch or rogue actor.
