Good movie, but this clip isn't anything special out of context. Matthau's clothes earn this an extra star.

Hollywood lost the ability to create believable workplaces and situations in a crises movie sometime in the 90s. Compare this movie, China Syndrome, The Thing, and Alien to anything created today. Even that 70s movie about sentient alien desert ants was more believable than any Michael Bay or Aaron Sorkin flick where everyone is trying to out act each other while screaming GET ME THE PRESIDENT!
