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.

  • Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove

    This movie is an absolute classic, one of Kubrick's best films that he made. The story basically revolves around a general who believes in a Soviet plot to poison the US population through the water supply. The general totally loses reasonable thought, and through underlying methods unknown to his superiors, sends out several B-52 to nuke the USSR. The President, Dr. Strangelove, and several cabinet members and military officials frantically try to stop the impending doomsday that is about to happen if the planes make it. Peter Sellers does a fantastic job playing a British colonel, the president, and Dr. Strangelove. Very good movie, highly recommended for people who have a taste for an older B&W film with lots of dark humour.
