The Iron Giant (1999)

Corrected entry: The story takes place in late 1957, as is evidenced by the appearance of Sputnik. Near the very end the U.S. military launches a nuclear weapon on a missile from a submarine. Problem: the U.S. had no such nuke launching subs at that time. (01:13:10)

Correction: Not true. The first missile launch from a submarine occured in 1953. By 1955, there were two active nuclear patrol submarines: the USS Tully and the USS Barbero.
