Footage of a Minuteman III ICBM test launch and its reentry vehicles striking the Kwajalein atoll target area. It shows the missile climbing through clouds and the warheads descending.
Linked as unusually clear real footage of ICBM reentries and impacts whenever missile tests or the Marshall Islands come up.

There's an excellent publicly released video made about an older test. It has some of the clearest footage of the actual reentries and impacts, and is also worth watching for the sheer 90s vibe of the production. ▶ this video
Alternatively there is ▶ this video about Minuteman III testing -- in which a song called "It's My Life" plays as we see breathtaking video of an unarmed Minuteman III missile climbing its way through the clouds at Vandenberg AFB and the West Coast; followed by footage of the reentry vehicles falling down from the sky at several kilometers per second, visible only as streaks of white light.
Decades after their nuke testing there, the US then used Kwajalein as target practice for their ICBMs: ▶ this video
