Dr. Strangelove

25: The president expresses dismay; he thought he was the only one authorized to fire nuclear weapons. Plan R is mentioned; a lower commander can trigger a nuclear war. The birth of something new.

45: The President and the joint chiefs learn about the doomsday machine, a device that destroys all life. Now that I'm aware.

-45: Talk about the surface of the earth after the Doomsday machine fallout. Discovery.

60: Jack Ripper and Mandrake look exhausted. Mandrake is hoping for the code that could stop the bomb from dropping. Jack kills himself. The next shot is of a B-52 flying toward Russia. There's no turning back now.

-25: Mandrake has a tense argument with a soldier trying to connect Jack (now dead) with the President. Mandrake fails to connect with the President because he hasn't enough coins. The final turning point.
