Doctor Strangelove, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a movie from 1964 that was a parody on the hawkish advocates of use of the atomic bomb against the United States' military enemies. It was a successful comedy that continues to have a cult following to this day.

The film was directed by noted liberal Stanley Kubrick, whose other films have dealt with inappropriate sexuality (Lolita and Eyes Wide Shut), the supposed evolution of man (2001: A Space Odyssey), and a liberal view of the military (Full Metal Jacket). Like Full Metal Jacket, Dr. Strangelove is used as a tool to mock the military and portray the buildup of nuclear weapons as foolish.

The movie stars the British actor Peter Sellers, who plays three different roles. It is also notable for being James Earl Jones' first role in a film.
