Missile is a 1987 American documentary film by Frederick Wiseman. It chronicles the 14 week training course for the men and women of the United States Air Force who are charged with manning the ICBM silos in remote places like Minot AFB and Whiteman AFB. The film shows discussions of the ethics of nuclear war, shows scenes from the daily lives of trainees, and shows demonstrations of training exercises such as counterterrorism, the launching of nuclear missiles, the command and control process, and basic military training. Most scenes in the film are of classroom training, interspersed with exercises in training facilities. The film includes a scene of an Air Force church service memorial for the astronauts killed in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.

In the typical style of Wiseman's films, the documentary is unadorned by commentary, narration, or music.

Vingt ans après avoir tourné Hospital, Frederick Wiseman s'intéresse aux relations complexes entre patients, familles, médecins, infirmiers, dans un service de soins intensifs. Avec une équipe médicale nombreuse et compétente, des locaux adaptés, il s'agit d'une service de pointe de l'hôpital Beth Israel de Boston. À travers les discussions éthiques et médicales des médecins, le cinéaste met en avant la valeur psychologique du processus médical.

The film covers the beginnings of the era of nuclear warfare, created from a broad range of archival film from the 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s - including newsreel clips, television news footage, U.S. government-produced films (including military training films), advertisements, television and radio programs. News footage reflected the prevailing understandings of the media and public.
