What happens when the wrong person presses the wrong button?
An eccentric American general takes it upon himself to order a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. The panicked president of the United States urgently convenes the military leadership, attempting to stop the madness and prevent a catastrophe. But there is one problem: it turns out that the Russians have created a secret Doomsday Device that, in the event of nuclear war, will destroy all life on Earth.
The prophetic masterpiece by great film director Stanley Kubrick—now as a stage production that is both uproariously funny and frighteningly relevant.
The chameleon role that earned Peter Sellers an Academy Award is performed onstage by actor and comedian Yaniv Biton.
