Stanley Kubric's classic black comedy about a group of war-eager military men who plan a nuclear apocalypse is both funny and frightening, and seems as relevant today as ever. Through a series of military and political accidents, two psychotic generals, U.S. Air Force Commander Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) and Joint Chief of Staff Buck Turgidson (George C Scott), trigger an ingenious, irrevocable scheme to attack Russias strategic targets with nuclear bombs. The brains behind the scheme belong to Dr. Strangelove (Peter Sellers), a wheelchair-bound nuclear scientists who has bizarre ideas about mans future. The President (also Sellers) is helpless to stop the bombers, as is Captain Mandrake (Sellers once again). Dr. Strangelove is truly a brilliant film classic.

This film is Stanley Kurbricks comedy film and is, like all his films, a very good quality creation. This is comedy the way it is supposed to be done. Peter Sellers is excellent and the whole cast is brilliantly selected and directed. Although it looks a little bit dated, and by that I mean the black and white films, the very primitive special effects and the 1960s costumes, it does spoil the film at all. This film is very cleaver because it has in it a serious political message whist being a fantastic comedy.
