How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb

This clip from Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb" illustrates the panic of the United States during the cold war. The imminent threat of the atomic bomb being dropped struck fear into the hearts of all americans. This clip provides humor to what was a considerably wide spread scare, Dr. Strangelove, the ex-nazi madman provides the president and his cabinet with an elaborate plan to hole-up in the fallout shelters. The plan insists that it be 10 women to every man, and that they would spend nearly a century underground. The atomic bomb was a nuclear weapon that struck fear into the hearts of many people, and while the soviets never did launch the bomb, the strategies and plans were in place if it were to happen. And while the scientific development of the bomb was a huge step in research and technology, the control that it bestowed upon its possessor was unimaginable.
