The full title is "Dr. Strangelove or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb." The title character was played by Peter Seller as was many of the characers in the movie. he was a crippled German scientist in the war room who had difficulty staying and his wheel chair and had on one black glove that he did not have complete control of.

The central plot was a general went crazy after, in the act of sex, came and freaked drawing the conclusion that the Russians were poisoning the water. he set the command for bombing the USSR and a B-52 manned by a guy named Slim Pickens sets off to drop the nuke in the plane.

Dooms Day Device 

The fictional device that the Russians had in Dr. Strangelove that would automatically set off if the USA ever attacked the Soviet Union. It's detination would destroy the entire world. The reasoning was that it was a whole lot cheaper to make it and threaten the world then try to keep up in Arms Race, Space Race and Peace Race against the USA.
It's a Dooms Day Device, able to blow up the entire world with jsut a flick of a switch.
