Stanley Kubrick directs this Oscar-nominated black comedy starring Peter Sellers and Sterling Hayden. When lunatic General Jack D. Ripper (Hayden) launches a nuclear attack on Russia, President of the United States Merkin Muffley (Sellers) consults his advisors, among them the wheelchair-bound, ex-Nazi scientist Dr Strangelove (also Sellers). Meanwhile, British Air Force Captain Lionel Mandrake (also Sellers) attempts to cancel the unplanned attack. The cast includes George C. Scott, Keenan Wynn, James Earl Jones and Slim Pickens.
