Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb 4K Ultra HD

Nominated for four Academy Awards® including Best Pictue (1964), Stanley Kubrick's black comedy "Dr. Stangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb" about a group of paranoia-inspired, war-happy generals who manage to initiate an "accidental" nuclear apocalypse, is horribly frightening, delightfully funny and relevant to this day. This is the saga of two psychotic generals: Joint Chief of Staff "Buck" Turgidson (Scott) and Air Force Strategic Commander Jack Ripper (Hayden), who orders a bomber squadron to attack the USSR, triggering a Soviet secret weapon, the "Doomsday Machine," a diabolical retaliatory missile system. Peter Sellers portrays a trio of men who attempt to avert this catastrophe: British Captain Lionel Mandrake, the only person with access to paranoid General Ripper; U.S. President Muffley, whose best attempt to diverting this disaster depends on convincing a boozed-up Soviet Premier it's all a silly mistake; and the President's advisor, Dr. Strangelove, a demented ex-Nazi scientist. Can any one of them possibly save the world? Based on the book "Red Alert" by Peter George.

The film was nominated for four Academy Award® nominations in 1964: Best Picture; Best Actor In A Leading Role (Peter Sellers); Best Director (Stanley Kubrick) and Best Writing, Screenplay Based On Material From Another Medium (Stanley Kubrick, Peter George and Terry Southern).
