Kathryn Bigelow, the filmmaker who recently debuted “A House of Dynamite,” responded to criticism from the Pentagon after portions of the movie alleged that the country’s nuclear weapon detection systems can only stop a threat 50 percent of the time.

In response to the film, the Pentagon distributed an internal memo slamming its veracity.

Defense officials described the movie as “compelling” and “intended for the entertainment of the audience,” while denying it’s reflection of real-world testing, which tells “a vastly different story,” according to a report from Bloomberg.
