In this episode:
By the 1980s, the Solidarity movement in Poland has become a beacon of dissent. In Germany 1989, the Berlin Wall comes down. In Romania, the imperialistic rule of President Ceaușescu and his wife is coming to an end - their fall from grace is nothing short of dramatic. Meanwhile, the Soviet Republics break free. The Soviet Union is no more, the Cold War is over.

'M.A.D. World' takes a close look at the last time we were threatened by the might of world superpowers: The Cold War. For over forty years the entire world stood on the brink of annihilation, as the horrors of World War II ended and a new kind of global war began when the push of a single button could trigger all-out nuclear war. 'M.A.D. World' examines how the world was changed forever by the Cold War. Over eight episodes, remarkable footage from the time shows how the build-up of nuclear arms and the mistrust between West and East instilled terror across the globe. First-hand accounts bring the stories to life as we talk to pilots drilled to drop the bomb, families are torn apart by the Iron Curtain and escaped dissidents who lived in fear of torture and execution.
