S. Kubricko režisuota antimilitaristinė satyra pasirodė Šaltojo karo įkarštyje, praėjus kiek daugiau nei metams po Karibų krizės, kai JAV ir SSRS karingas nusiteikimas pasiekė piką. Abiejų valstybių vyriausybės kūrė naujas karines programas ir puikavosi naujais ginklais. Tokia įtampa, kurią ištransliuodavo JAV (o ir SSRS) žiniasklaida, skatino paranojiškas nuotaikas. Raudonųjų komunistų baiminosi ir S. Kubricko filmo herojus – amerikiečių generolas Jackas D. Ripperis. Apeidamas aukštą JAV vadovybės ir prezidento postą, jis atsuka branduolines raketas į SSRS.
