The China Syndrome - March 16, 1979,
Three Mile Island accident - March 28, 1979
Failsafe - Oct 7, 1964,
Cold War (Ongoing so not exactly released prior...but this movie helped foment terror in the minds of the public)

I have a theory that these movies are dropped to create a programmed response to certain "events" - to instill fear so as to better control the population.
What do you think? What other movies can you think of that may have foreshadowed certain historical events?
