The U.S. Air Force general, Jack Ripen, is a complete lunatic. He sent his bomber to destroy the Soviet Union because he suspected that the Communist Party was plotting against the American people. The President of the United States received Jack’s suggestion. At the same time, the Soviet ambassador threatened the president that if the Soviet Union was attacked by any unknown weapon, the Soviet government would press the "doomsday device." The power of this device is powerful enough to destroy all life forms on earth, including animals and plants. Peter Sellers plays three roles in the movie that are likely to change this tragedy: Leonu Mandela, the leader of the British delegation, who is the only person who can approach the crazy general; American President Morkin Muff Ray, his most effective effort against this disaster was to appease the drunk Soviet prime minister; the former Nazi genius nuclear war mad doctor, he thought "because it seems that for very obvious reasons, a device like this It is impossible to play an effective deterrent role."
