The news report in the film says that three 50-Megaton nuclear warheads were lost in the accident, two were immediately recovered, and the third was being searched for. In real life, four Mk28 bombs were lost in the accident, three were located almost immediately, and the fourth was searched for. They were gravity bombs, which fall freely to earth, not warheads, which are carried on missiles. Their largest possible yield was 1.45 Megatons. The only 50-Megaton bomb produced was the Tsar Bomba, a prototype tested by the Soviet Union on Oct 30, 1961.
