one continuous season. as von miller tried to tell us. two-point conversion. and it's good. these last four games for thomas, starting at the afc game. eight sacks in these four games. he has three forced fumbles. and an interception. look how wide he is, on the outside. really, such a tough position. if you went out there to get underneath. andrew luck, it happened so fast. he had no feel for it. this is what you do, though. put it in the hands of the defense.

he wants sacks, fumbles, then touchdowns. >> jim: that set up the final touchdown. and he held up the trophy, named the mvp. >> phil: yep. >> jim: and he was rewarded with a big contract a few weeks -- couple of months back. >> phil: only thing he didn't win is "dancing with the stars." he won everything else. he had a great off season. >> jim: again, tonight, a submarine with 200 nuclear warheads on it. find out on "60 minutes" tonight. denver defense scores two touchdowns. . hey, all levels. the linebackers are tremendous. they can beept you with the pass -- they can beat you. and they can beat you with

we've seen many broken-up passes today. tremendous job. >> jim: ferguson, and he makes a nice little wiggle to get out of bounds on the first down. two touchdown by the defense, both in the fourth quarter. and i thought upon reflection the lead running it back on luck, rings familiar. we dug out the bock and he did have a pick six. 209 have come against luck. that one, back in 2012 when he was a member of the patriots. that was a long return. the flag is out. . well, i have to say, what an effort, though, by the colts.

offense. 10-yard penalty, still first down. >> phil: when think of this game, so much talk about the defensive backs and all that. you have to almost get two touchdowns given up by the offense. the defense, with all of those people hurt, they hung in there. >> jim: colts on their way to 0-2 for the third consecutive season. ferguson, and a flag as he gets out of bounds. he was battling with brandon

>> referee: no foul on the play for face mask. second down. >> jim: touchdown for the fourth quarter, talib, ninth career return. >> phil: i like what you said. how come he's always running towards the goa interceptions. and there's the sack fumble. he's always, not always, but a lot of times watching the quarterback. so he is going forward at full speed as he leads the quarterbac. >> jim: ferguson picking up the numbers. able to, again, fight his way to the sideline after another six.

just keep thoughing it short. -- just keep throwing it short. >> jim: third down, six to go, and got him, again. it's derek. fourth sack of the game by the broncos. derek wolf. . what's happened so many times, to this defense, they force the quarterback up. the tackle, the quarterback steps up, the inside tackle false off the blockers and gets a sack. >> jim: wade fill limbs wants one more play by his defense, phillips. clock will run. >> phil: you think when wade

head coaching position, wade phillips sat out all of 2014 didn't get a job. >> phil: nope. >> jim: and 21 defensive coordinator positions were filled before he got this one here in denver. >> phil: he called gary kubiak, thought about it, he sai i'm not going to wait long. last year he had a lot of offers. but he wanted this job. and it came through. too. >> referee: 12 players on the defense, five-yard penalty, still first down. >> jim: too many men on the field for denver. indianapolis can't find enough men to put on the field for defense with all of these injuries.

oh, that might -- von miller, again. >> phil: well, he double-teamed him. took what we talked about. von miller on the outside. tight end is going to hit him, okay. now the quarterback steps up. you know, joe rice, he doesn't know that. -- joe reitz, you didn't blame him. >> jim: three sacks today. orange crush 2.0. what it is. 34-20 final. and we're going to send it to the studio to james brown in new york. >> we take to you the final play, atlanta over oakland by a touchdow.

else. in the hands of taiwan jones. roberts. back to carr. he throws laterally to crabtree. crabtree wants to wind up. he gets a block from penn. he's run out of bounds. the game is over. the hit by deion jones and atlanta goes to 1-1. and the raiders fall to 1-1. what great quarterbacking we saw today. three touchdown passes by ryan. 397 yards. carr, 300 yards through the air, three touchdowns himself and no picks. atlanta had to have this game. next week they're at new orleans then they've got carolina. they've got denver and then they've got seattle. 0-2 would not have gotten it done. two former defensive coordinators, del rio and quinn. good game, rich. very enjoyable. referee: boy, two teams laying

high-scoring game. both quarterbacks threw it very well and both teams ran the football very well. atlanta, 139 rushing yards, the raiders 155 yards on the ground but some key mistakes. of course, a decision by jack del rio to go for it on fourth and 2 with the ball about midfield with a little over seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter. kevin: julio jones had 106 receiving yards today for the victorious falcons. tonight on "60 minutes," followed by the case of jonbenet ramsey and ncis: los angeles. each team goes to 1-1. you've been watching the nfl on cbs. rich, as you want, and you get it with fanduel's new friends mode. it's a friends-only league that lets you pick a new team every week. so if steve beats me one week,

>> steve kroft: when you look at your presidential ballot in democratic and republican lines, you will find the libertarian party and the green party. but for many voters this year, they might as well read, "none of the above." in a race that features the most unpopular democratic and republican party choices in memory, they are the two alternatives to hillary clinton and donald trump. and for the first time in 16 years, third parties could well determine the outcome of the election. right now, of the two

is the only one on the ballot in all 50 states. the ticket of gary johnson and bill weld is currently favored by about 8% or 9% of the electorate, even though 70% of the voters don't know who johnson and weld are. we thought it was time to give you a primer. if you don't recognize them, the tall guy on the left is vice presidential candidate bill weld. the shorter one is former new mexico governor and presidenti right now, they can stroll through a park unmolested by the press and the public. their rallies usually attract only a few hundred people. but they can still make some noise, and are not without enthusiastic support. >> gary, gary, gary! >> bill weld: the next president of the united states, gary johnson. >> gary johnson: you rock. you rock. thank you. >> kroft: why are you doing this?

>> weld: i feel it's something of a patriotic duty, given how the election season is unfolding. we feel a responsibility to offer the country sort of a sober, sensible alternative. >> johnson: has life in this country ever been better? >> kroft: they are not political neophytes. each one won two terms as republican governors in heavily democratic states. do you really think you have a chance to win? >> johnson: neither of us would be doing this if we didn't think that that was a possibility. >> kroft: let me be a little skeptical here. i mean, right now, the people-- >> weld: we expected no less. ( laughs ) >> kroft: right. right, yeah. the people that do this for a living, to try and do polling, and public opinion surveys and make odds-- some of the most prominent experts put your chances at about less than 1%, less than 1%. >> johnson: i think that donald trump started out that way. and i would've given him that--

but-- as crazy as this election season is, i think it could be the ultimate crazy, and that is, is that the two of us actually do get elected. >> kroft: right. and how does that happen? >> johnson: well, presidential debates-- a third alternative, 70% of america doesn't even know who we are. and yet, we exist. i think there's a lot of opportunity here. and there's still a lot of time left. >> weld: we are, in a way, breaking a glass ceiling-- >> kroft: they're hoping to get a place in at least one of the presidential debates, but right now they don't meet the threshold of 15% in the national polls. are you running against a two- party system? >> johnson: absolutely. >> weld: absolutely. >> johnson: and i-- and i do believe this is going to be the demise of the republican party. >> kroft: so you see yourself as a protest vote? >> johnson: no way. i think-- a conciliatory vote. look-- this is-- this is how we want to come together. >> weld: it happens, steve, if

and focus on the choices available, because the polling shows that nationally, people do tend to agree with our approach. as gary sometimes says, you're a libertarian. you just don't know it yet. >> let's bring back liberty. >> kroft: the libertarians were founded 45 years ago, as an off- shoot of the republicans. they tend to be fiscally conservative and social liberals who want the federal government out of their pockets, out of their schools, out of their computers, and out of their >> so, the hats are all $25. >> kroft: they support the right to bear arms, even assault weapons. but they also believe women have the right to an abortion, gays have the right to marry, and adults have the right to smoke pot. >> anybody looking for a bumper sticker? >> kroft: they oppose almost every federal program not mentioned specifically in the constitution, including social security and medicare and the regulatory agencies. you're making yourself seem like mainstream candidates. but in fact, you know, your

know. you're for phasing out medicare. you're for doing away with private health insurance-- as a way to bring down medical costs. you're talking about, abolishing the i.r.s. and imposing a 29% or 28%-- sales tax, essentially a sales tax. you call it a consumption tax. talk about eliminating the department of homeland security. i mean, these aren't exactly mainstream opinions. >> johnson: well, what you can count on the two of us topr we're going to always be consistent in looking for lower taxes. and much of what you cite is the libertarian platform, which, you know, we are the libertarian nominees for president and vice president. but we're not looking to eliminate medicare. we do believe in a safety net. but there has to be reforms for medicaid and medicare and social security. and if we're going to put our heads in the sand, if we say

of these areas, it's a fiscal cliff. >> weld: and nobody can tell me that no changes are necessary in washington. those bozos think that unless the appropriation of every single account goes up 5%, they call that a cut. well, that's not how we approached our state budgets. and that's not what we would do in washington, either. >> kroft: do you think most people want to do away with the department of homeland security? >> johnson: yeah. ( laughs ) i do. i do. i think there's a real-- skepticism-- i mean, really, we have the f.b.i. why another agency? security cars driving around these days, what are they doing? >> weld: there are functions that you'd have to retain and make sure they were attended to. but there're some who remind me of the, you know, muddled bureaucracy in washington that nobody can quite tell you why they're essential. and that's where i would go hunting. >> kroft: they also want to abolish the departments of education, commerce and housing and urban development. they want to cut the defense budget by around 20% and get

agree with their party on everything-- sometimes they don't even agree with each other. gary johnson earned a fortune in construction before making his political name as the first governor to ever advocate the legalization of marijuana, and until earlier this year, he was c.e.o. of a marijuana branding company. >> kroft: until recently, you were a consumer-- >> johnson: that's correct-- >> kroft: --of marijuana. >> johnson: one of 100 million americans who have consumed-- marijuana. i am-- i am guilty. the unforgivable in life, hypocrisy, saying one thing and doing another-- telling the truth-- i hope more than anything, i'm credited here with-- telling the truth. >> kroft: but you're not using marijuana now? >> johnson: i'm not. >> weld: running on the libertarian ticket. live free or die, baby, you know what they say. >> kroft: former massachusetts governor bill weld is a card- carrying member of the eastern establishment, whose libertarian

by the true believers. until his nomination in may, he was a member of the nearly- extinct political species known as "moderate republicans." you weren't a libertarian until a couple of months ago. >> weld: well, i considered myself a "small l" libertarian since the 1970s. and people called me the libertarian republican. >> kroft: they run a frugal, low-key campaign in jeans and sneakers and keep a very loose schedule that can change hourly. version of a presidential limousine was a rented red toyota. do you have a motorcade? >> weld: no. we don't have a motorcade. >> kroft: you stop for red lights? >> johnson: we do stop for red lights. >> kroft: do you have a campaign plane? >> weld: we don't have a campaign plane. >> johnson: no. no, we don't. >> weld: we do fly commercial. >> kroft: do you have a campaign headquarters? >> weld: yes. >> johnson: yes, we do. but it's-- but if you went to the campaign headquarters, you wouldn't find anybody there because this is-- you know, this is social media.

presence on the internet, and claim to have 50 million followers-- most of them young people. johnson and weld are good friends and say they plan to run a co-presidency sharing the same staff. on the campaign trail, they often stay at each other's homes. they've tried just about everything to get more attention in hopes that their campaign would go viral. and for a while, ten days ago, it did. >> willie geist: governor, good to have you with us. >> kroft: but it was the wrong kind, when johnson was unable to iden a the humanitarian crisis in syria. >> mike barnicle: aleppo. >> johnson: and what is aleppo? >> barnicle: you're kidding. >> johnson: no. >> kroft: you've been on the front page a lot this month. you made a big splash. and it was a belly flop. we're talking about aleppo here. tell me about aleppo. i mean, how did that happen? >> johnson: well, the-- i-- i blame no one but myself. i understand the underlying policy. >> kroft: people have said,

he doesn't know what aleppo is. how do you react to that? >> johnson: well-- that-- that i am human. i have a filter. and it starts with honesty. it starts with the truth. it starts with transparency, and i would serve as president in that capacity. when i was asked the question, the first thing that came into my mind was, "this is an acronym." aleppo-- american, l-- >> kroft: did it soundil >> johnson: well, it didn't. or i think i... but, but look, i do not, in any way, want to make an excuse for myself. you know, so many people have said, "look, 90% of america doesn't know aleppo." well, 90% of america is not running for president of the united states. no excuse. no excuse. >> weld: but at the-- at the end of the day, this is just my view, is, aleppo is a very important place name. but it's a place name. does that mean they're disqualified from running for president? i mean, you'd have very few

disqualification to run. >> johnson: thanks, bill. but nonetheless-- ( laughs ) look, we are running for president and vice president. >> kroft: you're-- you're acknowledging that your candidacy has some flaws. >> johnson: as do all candidacies. but i think-- >> kroft: but nobody-- i-- i-- i'm trying to remember a presidential candidate admitting that. >> johnson: well, that is the difference here. that's-- that's what you're going to buy into is, is that it will be transparent. and there's no quicker way to fix mistakes than actually acknowledginem place. >> kroft: do you-- do you have foreign policy advisors? >> johnson: well, certainly. >> kroft: do you have military strategists? >> weld: i wouldn't quite say that, but, people that have worked for me, and-- alongside me in-- foreign policy area. >> johnson: and what your-- >> kroft: do you have any idea who you would appoint secretary of defense if you were elected? >> johnson: no. but i will t-- >> kroft: weld says he has a short list of three or four candidates in mind, but he didn't want to name them. >> johnson: the country is in really deep trouble. >> kroft: when johnson ran for

1% of the vote. this time, there is considerably more momentum and much higher expectations. what's changed? >> johnson: well, a lot of it has to do-- with-- trump and clinton being as polarizing as they are. i've always said this, tongue and cheek. if-- mickey mouse were the third name on any poll, mickey would be at 30% because mickey's a known commodity. but mickey's not on the ballot in all 50 states. and i think that when we get known-- 70% of america right now doesn't even know who we are. >> kroft: even if you are not in the debates, you are going to alter the course of this election. >> weld: you're right, steve. we're going to alter the course of this election, whether or not we're in the debates. and i think someone trying to guess-- what that influence is going to be-- that's very hard-- very hard to predict. >> kroft: right now they're not even close to winning a single electoral vote, but they already

scales to either clinton or trump in almost every battleground state. who are you taking votes from? >> weld: i think at the end of the day, it'll be more likely-- from-- trump than from clinton. other people say, "no, we have this big appeal to the millennials," so it'll be more from clinton than trump. >> kroft: this is my observation-- you're much more antagonistic towards donald trump than you are towards-- mrs. clinton. >> johnson: oh, no-- >> weld: you must've done well in school. >> johnson: maybe. that may be bill's, bill's outlook. but for me, this is, this is-- boid this is-- man, this is both barrels. and-- i'm not going to lose one minute of sleep ruining this two party-- monopoly that is going on. i-- i think they are dinosaurs. and-- i think we're the comet in this whole equation. and i'm-- i'm glad for it. i'm proud of it. >> kroft: the latest cbs news/"new york times" poll of likely voters shows hillary clinton leading donald trump by two percentage points in a head

the green party are added to the poll, clinton and trump are in a dead heat. >> the libertarians have other surprising things to say about the november election. go to 60minutesovertime.com. sponsored by prevnar 13. what if one piece of kale could protect you from diabetes?

>> david martin: one of the key questions of this presidential campaign is, who has the health and temperament to become the next commander-in-chief and assume the unthinkable power to use nuclear weapons? the cold war as we knew it may be over, but both the u.s. and russia still keep enough nuclear weapons on alert to end civilization. and now, a new cold war is

developing more sophisticated and more accurate weapons. tonight, we're going to show you what this new cold war looks like from inside the u.s. strategic command. stratcom, as it's called, trains every day for the possibility of nuclear war and takes extraordinary measures to make sure one person and one person only-- the president of the united states-- can give the order to launch a nuclear weapon. >> one-three-zero. one-two-zero. one-one-zero. eight-four. >> martin: the u.s.s. "kentucky," rising to the surface off the coast of hawaii. nearly two football fields long, it is the deadliest engine of destruction in the american arsenal, able to carry almost 200 nuclear warheads atop the missiles loaded beneath those hatches. commander brian freck is the captain. >> freck: the warheads that can be carried on my missiles are extremely powerful. >> martin: compare them to the

than that. much more powerful than hiroshima. >> martin: up to 30 times more powerful, and, on any given day, a number of these submarines are hiding somewhere in the world's oceans, ready to respond to a launch order from the president. when you're out here, are other countries looking for you? >> freck: i always operate under the assumption that someone's looking for me. >> martin: has anybody ever found you? >> freck: no. not even close. >> martin: you sure? >> freck: yes, i am. >> martin: "60 minutes" found we had arranged a rendezvous to go aboard. if this boat were a country, you'd be a nuclear power. >> freck: that's true. yes, sir. >> martin: does that ever give you pause to have all that power under your command? >> freck: it's a lot of responsibility, but with that responsibility comes a lot of training and practice.

all vents shut. >> martin: operating at a depth of 160 feet, the "kentucky's" crew practiced the procedures needed to launch its missiles. >> set condition one sq for training. this is the captain. this is an exercise. >> set condition one sq for training. com weapons, aye. >> stand up all missiles. >> chief alaud, sound the general alarm. >> sound the general alarm, aye, sir. >> i have permission to fire. com weapons, aye. >> martin: before that trigger can be squeezed, multiple keys-- including one that unlocks the missile tubes which take up approximately one-third of the from different safes. >> freck: no one person can make a launch happen. so, i have keys in my possession, other members of the crew have keys in their possession. >> martin: one key is carried to the captain by two sailors, who both must hold it. >> captain, the launch is authorized. >> martin: and here's the thing you need to know about the safe where that key is kept. >> freck: no one on board has the combination. we get that combination with the launch order. that is my way of knowing that

he gives me opens that safe. the president literally gives you the combination to the safe that the key is in. >> freck: yes. >> you have permission to fire. >> two weapons. we have permission to fire. aye, sir. weapons con, you have permission to fire. >> martin: the "kentucky" and other nuclear missile submarines, along with intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear bombers... >> attention on deck. >> martin: ...are under the command of admiral cecil haney. >> col. cody: your nuclear forces are capable of executing all assigned missions. strategic command, haney is the most powerful military officer you've never heard of-- in command not just of the nation's nuclear forces but its space satellites and cyber weapons as well. >> lt. col. majorsen: there are no significant solar activity causing impacts to satellite operations or communications. >> martin: his morning briefing at strategic command headquarters in omaha, nebraska, is classified above top secret. >> thank you. i appreciate the update. >> martin: that clock, marked potus-- short for president of

what time zone president obama is in, in case he has to reach the commander-in-chief in a hurry. so, who in the united states government has the authority to order the use of nuclear weapons? >> haney: only the president of the united states has that authority. >> martin: does congress have to approve? >> haney: no, congress does not have to approve. >> martin: so, these really are the president's own weapons. >> haney: it's our nation's weapons, with the president's authority. yes. >> attention on deck.>> global operations center, a top secret facility three stories underground. if a missile were launched against the united states, the warning would be received here and that clock would start ticking down. colonel barbara buls was the watch commander. i see this sign up here-- "red impact," "blue impact time." so, "red impact" would be an enemy missile? >> buls: that is correct. >> martin: and you would have a time. >> buls: we would have a time to impact. and "blue impact" would be any

>> martin: lt. col. brian hyland would pull out the options for a retaliatory nuclear strike. >> hyland: my responsibility as the stratcom nuclear strike advisor is, be the expert on the nuclear decision handbook and the alert status of all u.s. nuclear forces. >> martin: the nuclear decision handbook. >> hyland: yeah, also known as the black book. >> martin: black book. so, is there a copy of the black book down here? >> hyland: there is. it's in the safe down here, sir. >> martin: an identical copy of the black book is in that briefcase which follows the president wherever he goes. so, he's never away from the options. >> haney: that's correct. >> martin: and, would they tell him what kinds of weapons you would use, what targets you would hit? >> haney: they would be that specific, yes. >> martin: would they give him an estimate of casualties? >> haney: yeah, we would have to give the president answers to a lot of different questions. that's one that i would expect to get. >> martin: admiral haney would go to a room called the battle deck where he would talk

and is this the phone you would use? >> haney: this is one of the phones that i might use, yes. >> martin: chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, secretary of defense. i don't see the man who controls... >> haney: you're looking for the president. >> martin: i am. >> haney: i can speak to the president directly from this microphone. >> martin: and in a crisis, how long does it take to get the president on the line? >> haney: not very long. >> martin: if russia launched a missile from a submarine off the coast of the united states, it would take only minutes to reach its target. president have to make a decision? >> william perry: he has minutes-- 7, 8, 9-- depending on details. but less than ten minutes. >> martin: former secretary of defense william perry was a key architect of nuclear weapons during the cold war with the soviet union. if the weapons can be launched within minutes, does that mean we're still in the same old hair trigger... >> perry: yes. >> martin: ...standoff that we were during the cold war?

warning, the same policy we had then. we still have the same hair trigger response. >> martin: so, what's changed since the cold war if we're still on this hair trigger alert? >> perry: fundamentally, nothing has changed. >> martin: but the numbers of weapons are much lower now than during the cold war. >> perry: the number of weapons are sufficient to destroy, obliterate all of civilization. >> martin: still? >> perry: still. it doesn't take that many. we still have more than 1,000 nuclear weapons on alert ready to go. it doesn't take 1,000 to destroy civilization. >> martin: at the end of the cold war, both sides pledged to point their missiles at the open ocean, but it would take just minutes to change back to real targets. that provides a small hedge against an accidental war triggered by a false alarm of the kind perry experienced in 1979, when a watch officer mistakenly inserted a training

i.c.b.m.s were on the way from the soviet union to the united states. happily, we got that situation figured out before we had to go to the president. but had we not, he would have received a call at 3:00 in the morning and said, "sir, you have seven or eight minutes to decide whether to launch those before these missiles land on our i.c.b.m. silos." >> martin: and what was the fail-safe there? what stopped it from going to the president? >> perry: what stopped it was an astute general who sensed >> martin: you've had one serious case in 45 years. that would seem like a pretty good record. >> perry: it only takes one. it only takes one. >> martin: strategic command is building a new $1.2 billion headquarters, but it won't be any more able to survive a nuclear blast than the underground command center in

that clock counting down the time to missile impact would also tell admiral haney how long he had to get out of there alive. >> buls: "safe escape time" that you see indicated is the time left, remaining, for admiral haney, as the commander of u.s. stratcom, to exit the battle deck, to be able to make it to his commander support aircraft, to be able to board that aircraft and continue to provide his advice to the president of the united states as his senior nuclear advisor. >> martin: on the tarmac at stratcom, air crews drill to get take-off in this airborne command post fast enough to escape incoming nuclear weapons. if admiral haney's headquarters were destroyed and he didn't make it out in time... >> the president is talking to... >> martin: ...it would be up to rear admiral andy lennon to assume command and make sure the president, and only the president, could still give the order to launch nuclear weapons. >> lennon: we are in voice communications with the

president, personally? >> lennon: yes, sir, so that way we are ensuring that we're getting the president's intent. >> martin: how do you know it's the president? >> lennon: we have some very complex and secure procedures to authenticate the president and to be sure that we're really talking to the president of the united states. >> martin: so, he can't just tell you, "this is the president speaking?" >> lennon: he can, but we will authenticate to verify that it is the president speaking. >> martin: once the president has given you that order, what do you do? >> lennon: then, we would strategic forces, our intercontinental ballistic missiles, our bombers or our submarines. >> chief alaud, sound the general alarm. >> sound the general alarm, aye, sir. >> martin: the order would be received on board the "kentucky," and the crew would go through launch procedures they have practiced hundreds of times before. last year, the "kentucky" actually fired an unarmed missile in a test flight which lit up the california sky and caused a brief u.f.o. scare. had it carried a real warhead...

>> martin: ...stuart miller, a young air force captain aboard the airborne command post, would begin charting the unthinkable. >> miller: my main role is, is gathering information on nuclear detonations worldwide and then applying meteorological data to them-- specifically winds-- to figure out if there's fallout, depending on the attributes of the detonation where the fallout's going, how many people might be affected, who might be affected, things of that nature. >> martin: so, you basically of... >> miller: essentially, yes, that's one of the things that... that i can provide. >> martin: you must have looked at some pretty depressing scenarios. >> miller: we kind of do, yeah, yes. ( laughs ) >> martin: have you ever had the conversation with yourself, "well, what if the president issued an order to use nuclear weapons and i didn't agree with it, would i carry out that order?"

me, as his combatant commander, to provide him the best military advice i have. so, he would expect me to voice my opinion. >> martin: you would have a voice, but if you disagreed with a decision... >> haney: i'm a military man, and we follow the orders of our commander-in-chief. >> martin: so, what are the chances the next president would actually have to make the fateful decision whether to use nuclear weapons? it's greater than you might think. sunday on "60 minutes." to reach my goals. so i liked when my doctor told me that i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by activating what's within me with once-weekly trulicity.

>> scott pelley: the chinese economy is struggling, plagued by slowing growth and uncertainty in the stock markets. but there is one industry that is not suffering: the movie business. for china and its 1.3 billion people, going to the movies has become a national pastime, and china is expected to become the biggest movie market in the world in the next two years. has taken notice, partnering with chinese studios and making blockbusters as much for the chinese audience as the american one. but as holly williams first reported last april, the u.s. film industry is also facing competition from a new generation of chinese moguls and movie stars with big ambitions. tonight, a journey to a new

>> holly williams: in the remote hills of eastern china, this is a magic kingdom that not even walt disney could have dreamed up. it's called hengdian world studios, and at over 7,000 acres, it's the largest film lot on the planet. a palace for every dynasty, a village for every era, where some of the biggest movies in china have been filmed over the last two decades. these sets aren't flimsy facades, but full-scale brick and mortar replicas of china's imperial past. and when the films wrap, a brief silence, before the sets are flooded by 15 million tourists who visit every year. it's all the domain of xu wenrong, a one-time farmer who realized his fields were fertile

permission is hardly ever granted to film in the real forbidden city, china's iconic landmark, so he built his own. it took several hundred years to build the real forbidden city, and it took you five years to build this one. and you made the whole thing from cement? xu got the idea for this place 20 years ago after a visit to hollywood. movies weren't big business in china back then, but he spent $1 billion gambling on their growth. do you feel a bit like an emperor when you come here? no, you're just an ordinary guy. an ordinary guy whose empire hosts 30 different productions every day, as the film crews compete for space with tourists who crowd the sets straining to

when the cameras start rolling, movie magic. the movie business is booming across china. shopping malls have popped up everywhere, and with them, theaters. 22 new movie screens open every day. that's right, every day. in the last five years, box office receipts have grown a staggering 350%. it's created a kind of a mass hysteria, and something china's never seen before: star culture. li bing bing has been described as china's angelina jolie. it feels as if the movie industry here in china is getting more and more like hollywood. >> li bing bing: the-- the speed of the development, you can't imagine, even for us. >> williams: it's changing so quickly. >> bing: so quickly. you... >> williams: and... >> bing: ...even you don't even react, it's already changed.

industry. chinese studios produce over 600 features a year: action movies, science fiction, thrillers. behind them is a group of pioneering movie moguls, like dennis wang. he once worked as a chinese food deliveryman in new york, and is now chairman of the huayi bros, one of the largest studios in the country. a billionaire, a capitalist with chinese characteristics. last year he spent $30 million on a picasso, which he keeps in his pocket and in one of his other homes. so that's the picasso. and you bought it from the goldwyn family, who owned the mgm studios in hollywood? so it's not so much as a passing of the torch as a passing of the picasso.

this year, a chinese company purchased a hollywood studio for $3.5 billion. others have been investing in multi-movie production deals with american companies to make films for the global market. you're going to use hollywood directors, hollywood stars... >> dennis wang: yes. >> williams: ...to make english- language films to compete with hollywood? >> dennis wang: yes. >> williams: and make global blockbusters? >> dennis wang ( translated ): yes. i think we'll be doing it in the next one or two years. maybe in five years, we'll be doing it really well. >> williams: in five years, you'll be competing with hollywood. >> dennis wang: i think we can do it. >> williams: even though china's economy has slumped in the last year, dennis' brother james, the huayi bros c.e.o., says the movie business is recession- proof. >> james wang ( translated ): when the economy is weak, the movie business does really well. when times are bad, people go to

>> williams: so the bad times, actually could be good for the film industry? >> james wang: in the last 20 years, the biggest box office earners have come out when the economy is bad. it's interesting. >> williams: the sheer size of the chinese market has hollywood salivating, and desperate to get in on the action. film producer who's spent the last 20 years making movies in china. >> dede nickerson: today, if you sit in a green light meeting in a hollywood studio at any of the studios, at any of the major six studios there, china is part of every green light discussion. >> williams: they're wondering, "will chinese audiences..." >> nickerson: well, they have to. >> williams: "...like this film?" >> nickerson: they... they have to because oftentimes the chinese box office is larger than the u.s. box office. especially for the big blockbuster films.
