Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a 1964 Stanley Kubrick film based loosely upon the straight-faced thriller novel Red Alert by Peter George. Refashioned as a black comedy from the source material by screenwriter Terry Southern, Dr. Strangelove's subject matter satirizes the fragile nature of the Cold War conflict and the doctrine of mutually assured destruction. The film opens at the fictional Burpelson Air Force Base, where the insane General Jack D. Ripper has just ordered a preemptive nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. The rest of Dr. Strangelove follows the American President, his advisors, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a RAF officer as they all scramble to recall Ripper's bomb-wing in order to prevent a nuclear Apocalypse.
