Peter Sellers plays three roles in Stanley Kubrick's mordant Cold War comedy in which insanity and political manoeuvrings lead to nuclear meltdown.
In an acting tour de force, Sellers plays the British officer attempting to apprehend the psychotic general (Sterling Hayden), the US President trying to smooth things over with his Soviet opposite number, and the eccentric Dr. Strangelove, a German émigré scientist with an autonomous Nazi arm and wild ideas about the post-apocalyptic world.
Much of the action of Kubrick's jet-black satirical masterpiece occurs within the cavernous War Room at the Pentagon, a space indelibly imagined by production designer Ken Adam.
