Also, isn't this the plot from Golden Eye?

  No, but Project Excalibur was verry similar to the Golden Eye plot. Only difference is that it used nuclear explosions to pump x-ray lasers that would shoot down enemy ballistic missiles rather than directed EMPs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Excalibur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Excalibur Fun fact though, detonating nuclear weapons in outer space causes very wide-spread EMPs. It's a very good thing that the Starfish Prime test was done out in the Pacific instead of at the Nevada test site. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish_Prime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish_Prime
