A psychopath general of the US air force, determined to save the world from the communist plot, is ready to attack the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons. One of the few masterpieces of political satire in the history of cinema that reflects the apocalyptic nightmares of the early 60’s. Kubrick's most forceful and least controlled film with Peter Sellers in 3 roles at the height of his histrionism. He didn't even win one of the 4 Oscars he was nominated for. From the novel Red Alert (1958) by Peter George who wrote it with Terry Southern and the director.
