DR. STRANGELOVE to Screen in HD This September at Ridgefield Playhouse
Fathom Events, Turner Classic Movies and Sony Pictures Entertainment invite you to scheme on the big screen when the Stanley Kubrick classic Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) bursts onto the big screen at The Ridgefield Playhouse on Sunday, September 18 at 7:00 pm.
In this Craig's Fine Jewelry Live in HD Series screening, unlock the secret codes and constant scheming of Dr. Strangelove with exclusive commentary from Turner Classic Movies that helps decipher the many layers of satire in Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece.
Through a series of military and political accidents, a pair of psychotic senior military officers - U.S. Air Force Commander Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) and Joint Chiefs of Staff General "Buck" Turgidson (George C. Scott) - hatch an ingenious, foolproof, and irrevocable plan to unleash a wing of B-52 bombers and their nuclear payloads on strategic targets inside Russia. And when the brains behind the scheme, Dr. Strangelove (Peter Sellers), a wheelchair-bound nuclear scientist with bizarre ideas about man's future, accidentally activates the bombing mission, even the President of the United States is unable to stop it. The inevitable comes to pass as the efforts of the Pentagon brass and all the politicians in Moscow and Washington cannot undo the cascading series of cataclysmic events.
