Dr. Strangelove
Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Seen after 30 years, Dr. Strangelove seems remarkably fresh and undated - a clear-eyed, irreverant, dangerous satire. And its willingness to follow the situation to its logical conclusion - nuclear annihilation - has a purity that today's lily-livered happy-ending technicians would probably find a way around.
A psychotic Air Force General unleashes an irrevocable scheme to unleash a wing of B-52 bombers and their nuclear payloads on strategic targets inside Russia, setting into motion a mutually assured destruction that world leaders desperately try to stop.
