1/4 Dr Strangelove Nuclear War Scenario | Documentary Movie Edit

Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, known simply and more commonly as Dr Strangelove, is a 1964 political satire black comedy movie directed, co-written, and produced by Stanley Kubrick and starring Peter Sellers in three roles, including the title character. The film, which satirizes the Cold War fears of a nuclear conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States, is loosely based on the nuclear war novel Red Alert (1958) by Peter George, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Kubrick and Terry Southern.
The storyline of Dr Strangelove concerns an unhinged United States Air Force general who orders a pre-emptive nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. It separately follows the President of the United States, his advisors, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a Royal Air Force exchange officer as they attempt to prevent the crew of a B-52 (following orders from the general) from bombing the Soviet Union and starting a nuclear war.
Dr Strangelove is often considered one of the best comedies ever made and one of the greatest movies of all time. In 1998, the American Film Institute ranked it twenty-sixth in its list of the best American movies. In 1989, the United States Library of Congress included Dr Strangelove as one of the first 25 films selected for preservation in the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Dr Strangelove received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor for Sellers.
Dr Strangelove was also nominated for seven BAFTA Film Awards, winning Best Film From Any Source, Best British Film, and Best Art Direction (Black and White), the film also won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation.

Dr Strangelove 4K UHD: amzn.to/3PA97qW American superfortresses started using Lake Biwa northeast of Hiroshima as a coastal rendezvous point towards the end of the War. The city's air raid sirens had been sounding false alarms almost every night for weeks. Hiroshima and Kyoto were the only important Japanese cities that hadn't been visited in strength by "Mr B" (America's B-29 bombers). Hiroshima was reserved for a special demonstration and the people waited anxiously. B-29s had started making regular reconnaissance flights and the "yellow-alert" siren had become a morning routine. On the night of 5 August 1945, Hiroshima’s sirens wailed as two hundred B-29s approached the city from the south. People evacuated to their “safe areas” and waited for the napalm firestorm. The terror bombers roared overhead and then passed on heading north. People returned home but another warning wailed soon after midnight. The yellow alert sounded around 7:00 and the all-clear followed as an American reconnaissance plane approached from the south. People headed to work and thousands of school children gathered for morning work details helping to clear fire breaks in the lanes and streets. A lone B-29 passed high overhead at 8:15 and detonated a uranium bomb 1900 feet above the city. Two hundred thousand people were burned, blinded, disembowelled, irradiated and buried in rubble as the city crumbled beneath the nuclear flash, blast and shock waves. A turbulent column of heat, dust and ash rose miles into the sky shrouding the city in darkness. Neighbourhoods and streets were transformed into an unrecognisable wasteland of total destruction. Dazed survivors scrambled over mounds of wreckage and muffled voices screamed from the rubble. Tens of thousands descended on the city’s hospitals and the few remaining medical staff were overwhelmed. ‘More than 80 per cent of the city's doctors and nurses were killed in the explosion, their hospitals levelled or severely damaged. There were few medicines or painkillers. The shockwave tore through the Red Cross Hospital: ceilings and partitions collapsed; windows blew in, showering everyone with glass ... patients ran about screaming.’ Paul Ham, Hiroshima Nagasaki, 371 Ragged, gruesomely injured people filled hospital corridors and crowded the streets where many were vomiting from radiation sickness. Scattered fires grew into a conflagration and the hot air swirled with burning showers of cinders. Panic gripped the city and people herded into the corpse-filled estuarial rivers. Others fled to the blackened parks and huddled alongside the dying as they moaned, "Mizu! Mizu! - Water! Water!” Black radioactive rain fell from the mushroom cloud. Three days later, Mr B detonated a plutonium bomb above the Urakami Christian district of Nagasaki. America was now a nuclear power that ruled the sky and the world was shocked and awed. Britain handed leadership of the global capitalist system to America at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944 and British imperial sterling was superseded by a truly international world reserve dollar regulated by the IMF and World Bank. Bankrupt Allies, West Germany and Japan fixed the exchange rates of their currencies relative to the US dollar which, in turn, was backed by a mountain of gold. US dollars were then shipped overseas as part of the Marshal Plan funding postwar reconstruction in the shadow of the Cold War. The Soviet Union became a nuclear power in 1949 and, by 1955, both the US and USSR had detonated a hydrogen bomb. Atomic bombs release energy through nuclear fission but thermonuclear weapons are driven by fusion reactions: the process that powers the sun. Hydrogen bombs can produce large multimegaton yields thousands of times more powerful than the "Little Boy" Hiroshima bomb and now represent the prevalent type... America built the first nuclear weapons during World War II and used them against Japan. Today, several nations are nuclear-armed including North Korea, Pakistan, Israel and soon perhaps Iran. The distinctive mushroom cloud of a nuclear explosion lifts fine particles of dust and ash high into the stratosphere blocking light and reddening the rising and setting of the sun. As well as radioactive darkness, a thermonuclear war would also produce huge volumes of ozone-destroying nitric oxide further lowering global temperatures and plunging the planet into an extended nuclear winter.
