In the film "The Right Stuff", the Americans tried to beat the Soviets in the Space Race. In the beginning of the film, people were trying to break the sound barrier. One person died trying to attempt the mission. Then, a person with a bad arm tried to break the sound barrier, and he succeeded. A person tried to tell the press, but another person said that the Soviets would find out and try to make it better and more advanced.
One day, the Soviets succeeded in making the 1st rocket. The Americans tried to make a rocket, but the 1st 8 tries failed. (I especially like the eighth attempt, when the rocket popped like a bottle of champagne. Hahahaha!) On the 9th attempt, they succeeded, but then the Soviets sent a man to space. So they decided to send a man, but then they went to send a monkey, just to make sure it's safe.
For me, the reminder of the Cold War in the film would be when the Americans tested the rockets. It was educational, yet it was funny. That scene would totally remind me of the Cold War.
