A Synopsis With Pictures and Sounds

General Jack D. Ripper has lost his mind, discovering a secret communist plot to rob Americans of their "precious bodily fluids." Aware that he alone can stop this conspiracy, Ripper decides to use a loophole in the nuclear safety provisions to launch a nuclear strike and destroy the Soviet Union. What no one knows is that the Russians have created a doomsday device that will automatically destroy the whole Earth if the Soviet Union is attacked.

The scene then switches to the Pentagon's huge underground War Room, a murky, cavernous room with a round conference table and a massive graphic display strategic map lit to indicate the progress of the bomber wing planes to their Russian targets. Lights illuminate the room from above in a circle, casting a glow over the assembled egghead 'Adlai Stevenson-like' President, Merkin Muffley and his idiosyncratic advisers at a huge round table. The President and his advisers, scramble to stop the impending nuclear Armageddon. Unfortunately, the bombers are ordered to maintain radio silence and the only man who can recall the planes is the insane general Ripper.

Dr. Strangelove walks- Mein
Furher I Can Walk!

Muffley then consults with a wheelchair-bound German nuclear scientist (ex-Nazi "kraut" formerly named Merwerdich-liebe, literally meaning "strange-love") and U.S. weapons strategist, Dr. Strangelove. With thick dark glasses, Strangelove, director of weapons research and development, also has a black-gloved mechanical, robotic right hand which shakily holds his cigarette. Strangelove, who epitomizes the mad scientist is often unable to control his body, especially his arm which jumps to attention at inopportune moments.

Major Kong Rides The Missile Down To Russia

Finally retaking the base, British exchange officer, Lionel Mandrake discovers the code to withdraw the B-52's and prevent the triggering of the "Doomsday Device." However one B-52 was damaged and it never receives the recall order. Unwilling to concede defeat the crew of the "Leper Colony" flies under radar cover to its target, only to be unable to launch its missiles. Finally, riding the missile to its target in Russia, Major Kong, exemplifies the American cowboy image. Unable to stop the Doomsday Device, the movie ends with numerous shots of mushroom clouds set to the light World War II song, "We'll Meet Again."
