Stanley Kubrick's brilliant satire on nuclear war centers on the predicament of American President Mirkin Muffley when one of his Air Force commanders goes berserk and sends his B-52s to H-bomb Russia, triggering off the Soviet Union's Doomsday Weapon which will destroy all life on earth for a hundred years. The ultimate in black comedies and, prior to 2001, Kubrick's most ambitious project. Peter Sellers appeared in three roles - as the President, as America's top atom scientist (the German Doctor Strangelove of the title), and as an R.A.F. officer.
