The movie was kind of nebulous on the whole cold war thing, as I remember it. Could the Cold War be put into terms of Wanna-be and Actual-be Superpower's desire for oil?
I can't say for certain because I haven't really studied the Cold War, but I do know that the struggle for resources is by far the most important aspect of why war exists, the Cold War was 'cold' largely due to proxy 'hot war' (think: Charlie Wilson's War), and that oil runs the world.
