Uno psicopatico generale dell'aviazione USA, deciso a salvare il mondo dal complotto comunista, è pronto ad attaccare l'Unione Sovietica con armi nucleari. Uno dei pochi capolavori di satira politica nella storia del cinema che riflette gli incubi apocalittici dei primi anni '60. Il più forsennato e meno controllato film di Kubrick con Peter Sellers in 3 ruoli al culmine del suo istrionismo. Non vinse nemmeno uno dei 4 Oscar cui era candidato. Dal romanzo Red Alert (1958) di Peter George che lo sceneggiò con Terry Southern e il regista.
