Dr. Strangelove

How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb

Stanley Kubrick's classic black comedy about a group of war-eager military men who plan a nuclear apocalypse is both funny and frightening-- and seems as relevant today as ever.Through a series of military and political accidents, two psychotic generals- U.S. Air Force Commander Jack D. Ripper and Joint Chief of Staff "Buck" Turgidson- trigger an ingenious, irrevocable scheme to attack Russia's strategic targets with nuclear bombs.The brains behind the scheme are Dr. Strangelove, a wheelchair-bound nuclear scientist who has bizarre ideas about man's future.The President is helpless to stop the bombers, as is Captain Mandrake, the only man who can stop them.Dr. Strangelove is truly a brilliant film classic.
