The political thriller is the Oscar-winning director's first film in more than eight years, and explores the same half-hour period from three different perspectives after it emerges that a nuclear weapon sent from an unknown source is headed straight for the US.
In an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com ahead of release, Ferguson explained just how keen Bigelow had been to make her film feel "authentic and real", revealing that former Situation Room chief Larry Pfeiffer was on hand to answer questions every single day on set.
“Where to begin?" she answered, before mentioning the minuscule amount of time it would take between noticing an unknown threat and its catastrophic impact.
"The President isn't given a sit down and a briefing [about] what to happen. Because he's so busy that... the options are handed to him in case of an emergency, at the point of emergency, and then he makes the decision. One entity makes the decision. One.
Speaking about the reactions to the film she's observed so far, she said she'd been struck by viewers responses to "the flabbergasting reality about the amount of nuclear warheads that are out there".
"And I think one of the biggest things is that people haven't understood that one person has the power," she added. "One human being sits on the power to start a nuclear war and when that hits, it hits hard."
Of course, that film explores the advent of the nuclear age, while the new one is more concerned with its impact into the modern day, but they make for a fascinating – if rather bleak – double bill.
"And with two of the finest directors, certainly of my lifetime, and an exceptional cast," he continued. "It was kind of like a full circle, which was nice – it examines it from a different point.
"I very rarely felt a piece that just leaves it with you. What do you think about it? Not what we we think about it – we made it. Here it is. And it's not just a cerebral feeling. It's a take your breath away. And the response so far has been just incredible."
