Elected in 1980, US president Ronald Reagan proceeds to escalate the arms race in an attempt to deter a nuclear war. Over the next few years the government ploughs vast sums of taxpayers' money into the development of new technology, the most ambitious project being the Strategic Defense Initiative, popularly known as the "Star Wars" programme.
In 1985 new premier Mikhail Gorbachev inherits the crippling financial burden of the Soviet Union's bid to stay in the arms race.
