Up next in our Classic Movie Nights series is Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb!
The film follows the chaotic events that unfold after a deranged U.S. Air Force general, Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), unilaterally orders a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union. As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, various military and political leaders, including the bumbling President Merkin Muffley (Peter Sellers), scramble to prevent disaster.
Featuring Sellers in three memorable roles, Dr. Strangelove remains regarded as one of the greatest satires to ever grace the screen thanks to its biting commentary and iconic imagery.
