I was going to put this in the Doctor Who thread, but then I thought, actually, this stands divorced from it's wider context, as just a powerful speech about war and beautifully delivered.

The set-up, as much as is needed anyway, is two commanders each ready to launch utter destruction on the other, with Earth's fate in the balance. A human commander and the commander of an alien force who have been hiding among us and have broken away from their original invasion force to launch their own revolutionary bid for power.


The Doctor, an impossibly old time travelling alien, has contrived to get both commanders in the room together. There are two boxes, each with two buttons. One button will destroy give them victory and the other bring about their own destruction.


Full scene only available in this little box, so take full screen. The scene gets giong about a minute in, but there's some nice set up.
