I hope you're kidding. Dated? It satirizes the cold war, the elements of which — deterrence, mutual assured destruction, espionage, minority factions which desire to provoke war, etc. — are still relevant, if in a modified form. (USA and Russia are no longer in a cold war, but there are plenty of nukes, and plenty of countries who desire them.) It's still consistently and widely considered a masterpiece of political satire.
