Synopsis:
U.S. Air Force General Jack Ripper goes completely and utterly mad,
and sends his bomber wing to destroy the U.S.S.R. He suspects that the
communists are conspiring to pollute the "precious bodily fluids" of
the American people. The U.S. president meets with his advisors, where
the Soviet ambassador tells him that if the U.S.S.R. is hit by nuclear
weapons, it will trigger a "Doomsday Machine" which will destroy all
plant and animal life on Earth. Peter Sellers portrays the three men
who might avert this tragedy: British Group Captain Lionel Mandrake,
the only person with access to the demented Gen. Ripper; U.S.
President Merkin Muffley, whose best attempts to divert disaster
depend on placating a drunken Soviet Premier and the former Nazi
genius Dr. Strangelove, who concludes that "such a device would not be
a practical deterrent for reasons which at this moment must be all too
obvious". Will the bombers be stopped in time, or will General Jack
Ripper succeed in destroying the world ?
See you
Amar
