Dr. Strangelove - 40th Anniversay Special Edition - 2 Disc Set


A crazed commander (Sterling Hayden) launches an unauthorized, quick nuclear attack on Russia. Despite their best efforts, the President (Peter Sellers), a brilliant scientist Dr. Strangelove (Peter Sellers) and a British officer Captain Mandrake (Peter Sellers) can not reverse this "act of war". George C. Scott plays a bloodthirsty Joint Chief of Staff "Buck" Turgidson and Slim Pickens stars as a gun ho bomber pilot delivering the neclear strike to the U.S.S.R. This movie is both a brilliant satire and snapshot of the Cold War.
