More of the the US bomber crew/SAC footgage can be seen here in this SAC promo video: link and here in this PBS documentary: ▶ this video
There are some scenes in the movie The Day After showing the mission I believe these plans flyes: ▶ this video The US used to have one or two airborne at all times during the cold war. Quits scary.
suspiciously good They just copied some footage helpfully provided by the air force. (7:50) There must have been a "director's cut" of the same because we see it in "The Day After" where they're turning the keys. ▶ this video
