Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

After the insane General Jack D. Ripper initiates a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union, a war room full of politicians, generals and a Russian diplomat all frantically try to stop it.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb keeps every mind human — it fights its subject at zero distance. The story fights on E12/E14 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing war, authority, technology, mortality, fear.
