Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a 1964 political satire film directed by Stanley Kubrick. The movie was inspired by the fear of nuclear war during the Cold War era.
The story follows General Jack D. Ripper, who is convinced that the Soviet Union is conspiring to fluoridate America's water supply and pollute our "precious bodily fluids." He orders a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union without the knowledge or approval of the President.
Meanwhile, a group of politicians, generals, and a Russian ambassador are gathered in the War Room, desperately trying to stop the nuclear attack. President Merkin Muffley, who is played by Peter Sellers in one of his multiple roles in the film, tries to reason with General Ripper and gain control of the situation.
At the same time, the titular Dr. Strangelove, a former Nazi scientist, offers bizarre and alarming solutions to the crisis, while the Soviet ambassador repeatedly demands more information about the situation from his government.
As tensions rise and the clock ticks down, the characters must confront their own political biases and the absurdities of nuclear war in a race against time to prevent the annihilation of the world.
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is now regarded as a classic of black comedy and a landmark in film history.
