Set at the height of Cold War tensions, the story features a demented U.S. general (played by Sterling Hayden) who, frustrated by his sexual impotence, plans to launch a nuclear strike against the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, an eclectic group of political officials desperately try to avoid Armageddon. Peter Sellers played three roles in the film, including that of Dr. Strangelove, a weapons expert and barely reformed Nazi, and George C. Scott portrayed a hawkish general.
