Coldline

USSR Chairman, Nikita Khrushchev, calls the Washington-Moscow Hotline in order to get ahold of the US President, to warn of a Nuclear Warhead headed towards New York City, gone rogue due to a "technical failure". Problems continue to arise when Nikita encounters difficulties whilst navigating through the convoluted call menu. Frustration turns to madness as minutes continue to pass with no sign of ever reaching the President.
