Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) is Stanley Kubrick’s razor-sharp political satire about Cold War paranoia and nuclear annihilation.
Through absurd comedy, it follows a chain of events triggered by a rogue U.S. general ordering a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union, leading politicians, military brass, and the eccentric Dr. Strangelove to scramble in a race against doomsday.
Darkly hilarious and disturbingly relevant, it’s a masterclass in blending farce with existential dread.
