33 Minutes: Protecting America in the New Missile Age is a thrilling, one-hour 33 Minutes: Protecting America in the New Missile Age is a thrilling, one-hour documentary that tells the story of the very real threat foreign enemies pose to every one of us. The truth is brutal - no matter where on Earth a missile is launched from, it would take 33 minutes or less to hit the U.S. target it was programmed to destroy. Despite this present and growing danger, our government has failed to build the missile defense systems capable of defending us against such attacks. Featuring rare footage and in-depth interviews with leading experts in the field, 33 Minutes is part of our Protect America initiative to explain to every mom, dad, and citizen in our great country just how vulnerable we really are and what they can do about it.
