That was the exact plot of a James Bond film I watched yesterday. And the spy who loved me, I could not for the life of me figure out the villain's motive, but he was setting off nuclear missiles to start a war between America and Russia in the hopes that he would irradiate the surface of the Earth and everybody would then live underwater.
