THIn the 2009 animated film Monsters vs. Aliens, the “nuclear button” is part of a recurring gag involving President Hathaway. The joke centers on the President’s desk having two identical big red buttons placed side-by-side, which leads to a near-catastrophe.
The Nuclear Button: Launches the entire United States nuclear arsenal.
The Latte Button: Makes a cup of coffee for the President.
The Design Flaw: When the President asks who designed the two buttons to look exactly alike, his advisor, Wilson, reminds him that he designed them himself.
Mid-Credits Scene: In a final gag during the credits, the President accidentally presses the nuclear launch button while trying to make a celebratory latte for General Monger, effectively starting a nuclear war by mistake.
