Editor's note

Dr. Strangelove is Kubrick's brilliant satire on the absurdity of the Cold War and the nuclear scare. With its razor-sharp wit and unforgettable characters (three of whom are played by Peter Sellers), the film lampoons the madness of nuclear strategies and military bureaucracy. Its dark humor and surreal scenarios blend to create a timeless commentary on the brinkmanship that defined a generation.
