Description

Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is one of the greatest black comedies ever made. This Oscar-nominated satirical masterpiece stars Peter Sellers in three iconic roles alongside Sterling Hayden, George C. Scott, and James Earl Jones.

When General Jack D. Ripper (Hayden) launches an unauthorized nuclear strike on Russia, U.S. President Merkin Muffley (Sellers) and his advisors scramble to prevent global annihilation. Meanwhile, British Air Force Captain Lionel Mandrake (Sellers) tries to stop the attack from within the base. The film brilliantly blends political satire with absurdist humor, cementing its place as a cinematic classic.
