 Stanley Kubrick's classic
black comedy about nuclear holocaust and an out-of-control armed
forces. A mad Air Force general, convinced that the Russians
have found a unique means of poisoning the American water supply,
sends forth a plane to drop nuclear bombs on the Soviet Union.
Pity that no one knows the code to bring it back. Exacerbating
the problem: the "doomsday machine," a new Russian
weapon programmed to blow up earth in the event of an attack.
And no one knows how to stop that, either. As the American plane,
piloted by a gung-ho, good-old-boy Texan, nears its target, pandemonium
breaks out in the war room as the hapless, hopeless President,
a megalomaniac scientist, and a randy, macho general, struggle
fruitlessly over what to do -- or whether to do anything at all.
