Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb The story concerns an unhinged US Air Force general who orders a first strike nuclear attack on the Soviet Union, and follows the President of the United States, his advisers, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer as they try to recall the bombers to prevent a nuclear apocalypse, as well as the crew of one B-52 as they attempt to deliver their payload. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Strangelove
