Plot Summary

Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), convinced that a Communist conspiracy is contaminating America’s precious bodily fluids, unilaterally launches an unauthorized nuclear strike against the Soviet Union and locks down Burpelson Air Force Base. Trapped with Ripper is British exchange officer Group Captain Mandrake (Peter Sellers), who desperately tries to extract the recall code before the bombers reach their targets.

In the Pentagon’s War Room, the hapless President Merkin Muffley (also Peter Sellers) must simultaneously manage his trigger-happy generals, placate the Soviet ambassador, and telephone a perpetually drunk Soviet Premier. Meanwhile, the wheelchair-bound former Nazi scientist Dr. Strangelove (Peter Sellers again) begins to malfunction spectacularly as the diplomatic situation deteriorates beyond all recovery. Above the Soviet Union, Major “King” Kong (Slim Pickens) rides a nuclear bomb toward oblivion.

Kubrick’s masterstroke was to play every absurdity with complete seriousness, allowing the comedy to erupt from the collision between the characters’ absolute sincerity and the utter lunacy of what they are doing. The result is as terrifyingly funny today as it was in 1964.

Historical Significance

Released in January 1964, just fourteen months after the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the world to the brink of nuclear war, Dr. Strangelove arrived at a uniquely receptive moment. Kubrick, who had originally intended a serious thriller, realized during adaptation of Peter George’s novel that the material was fundamentally absurd — and he was entirely right. The film was a critical and commercial success and is now ranked among the greatest films ever made.

Peter Sellers’ triple performance remains one of the supreme achievements in screen acting. The film’s War Room set, designed by Ken Adam, has become one of the most iconic interior spaces in cinema history. George C. Scott, initially performing at double the intensity Kubrick requested, found his “rehearsal” takes used in the final cut — an act of deliberate directorial cunning that produced a performance of spectacular comic force.
