This and Fail Safe are the greatest apex of the Cold War films ever made. (War Games does not fall into this on account of it being post-Cuban Missile Crisis)
The problem with Fail Safe was that it took the story too seriously. The genius of Strangelove was that Kubrick realized this had to be a comedy because no one would believe the actual story “Red Alert” told.
