The opening sequence of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) begins with a fade in shot of mountain peaks above the clouds, accompanied by a voice speaking about political leaders. It then fades to a black and white shot of the mountains before cutting to footage of a tank and plane from a bird's eye view. White captions provide credits for the producers, directors, cast, and crew. The opening establishes the film's setting high above the clouds through aerial shots and uses credits to identify it as a Stanley Kubrick production.
