The mad general arbitrarily orders a nuclear attack on the USSR. Soviet retaliation seems inevitable.
US Army Commander Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) and Air Force Commander Turgidson (George C. Scott) command a squadron of nuclear bombers to attack the USSR. This launches a secret Soviet lethal weapon. British captain Lionel Mandrake is trying to prevent the catastrophe. On the other hand, the US president (Peter Sellers) is clumsily trying to convince the Soviet prime minister that the whole situation is just a stupid mistake. The role of his adviser is played by a crazy former Nazi.
The screening will be followed by a discussion.

Benshi is a series of film meetings of cinema fans with a flair for discussion. If you love cinema – join us. Look for inspiration. Inspire.
Cycle: Politics Whether we like it or not, politics has a big impact on our lives. We can claim that we are not interested in it, but we cannot escape it completely. In any case, our January cycle will not help you with that. We will show what happens behind closed doors, at high levels of power, but also how the political reality is perceived by ordinary people. We will show it in the mirror of satire, but also more seriously. These 4 excellent films will prove that politics is not to be afraid of. Especially when its meanders are explored by such masters of cinema as Frank Capra, Stanley Kubrick or Mike Nichols.
The project is co-financed by the Polish Film Institute.
