Default B-52s in the movies


Which depiction of the B-52 in the movies is the most realistic for the time
the movie is set? There are two main contenders-Dr. Strangelove with a high
altitude penetration, then low, then high again to drop the weapon; and By
Dawn's Early light-which had a Buff drop a (presumed) retarded single-megaton
weapon to kill a pair of MiG-25s-the weapon was dropped before the Buff cleared
a ridge, and the other side of the ridge shielded the plane from the blast.
(A third Foxbat was killed by the Buff's gunner) Any other depictions of
B-52s in the movies out there?
