About this product

Product Information

DR. STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB is Stanley Kubrick's Cold War masterpiece. Based on the novel RED ALERT by Peter George, the film is set at the height of the tensions between Russia and the United States, when all it would take to destroy the world was one push of a button. And General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) is just the man to do it. Convinced that the Russians have infiltrated America's "vital essence," the crazed Ripper gives the go code to the 843rd bomb wing to attack Russia, setting in motion a series of darkly hilarious vignettes involving gung-ho soldiers, wacky generals, spying Russians, drunken premiers, battles with soda machines, fights in the War Room, and the Russians' top-secret Doomsday Machine. Shot in black and white, the film has three main centers of action: one of the B-52 bombers, on which a group of loyal men know they are about to start World War III; Burpelson Air Force Base, where Group Captain Lionel Mandrake (Peter Sellers) is trying to convince everyone that Ripper has gone mad and the bombing must be stopped; and the War Room, where President Merkin Muffley (Sellers again) is trying to make peace with the Russians. The finale featuring Sellers as Dr. Strangelove is a comic gem. Hayden, George C. Scott, Slim Pickens, Keenan Wynn, and Sellers (in three roles) are especially terrific in what may be the funniest, most poignant black comedy ever made, a vicious satire on the farcical aspects of the military and the cold war.

  • This Film Hits It's Target!

    A dark comedy about nuclear holocaust; can that really be both thought provoking and hilarious? When Stanley Kubrick and Peter Sellers get together (along with an amazing supporting cast) the answer is a vehement YES! I highly recommend buying the special 2-disc edition that includes some wonderful special features on the second disc.

  • It's 90 Seconds To Midnight

    What if the U.S.A. started a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, now being Russia. This film approaches the subject with moments of comedic, sarcastic and occasionaly ubsurdity. It's a light touch on a serious posiblity. Given the current state of hostility between the U.S.A. and Russia and are proxy war with Russia via Ukraine this movie has relevance today. The Dooms Day Clock 12/31/2024 it was 90 seconds to Midnight (Nuclear War) The closest we've ever been since the atomic bombing of Japan.

  • Classic movie relevant today.

    With North Korea now developing a hydrogen bomb and intercontinental missal to deliver it, and two wacko leaders, this movie displays the folly of nuclear warfare.
